Naming Ceremony

Naming Ceremony is the first samskar among all 16 samskaras of Hindu religion.

The name of a child is kept based on rites and rituals in that auspicious moment. This activity is called Namkaran Samskar in Hindi. It has great significance in Sanatan Religion. According to scriptures, based on the horoscope of the birth of a child at the time of the birth, baby's name is kept on the first letter of the zodiac according to the moon sign.
