Namkaran Muhurat rules used on this page

  • Where these rules come from: the naamkaran rules as the largest computed naming-ceremony list applies them. That list was checked for New Delhi across 2026 and 2027, and every date it prints is on this page.
  • Weekday: Monday, Wednesday, Thursday, Friday or Sunday (the Vedic weekday, which changes at sunrise). Never Tuesday or Saturday.
  • Nakshatra: the Moon in one of these 14 — Ashwini, Rohini, Mrigashira, Pushya, Uttara Phalguni, Hasta, Chitra, Swati, Anuradha, Uttara Ashadha, Shravana, Shatabhisha, Uttara Bhadrapada and Revati.
  • Tithi: any tithi of either fortnight except Chaturthi, Navami, Chaturdashi or Amavasya.
  • Season: none — a child is named in whatever month it is born; only an adhika month is closed, as the reference list closes it. Adhika Jyeshtha, an adhika month, runs from 17 May 2026 to 15 June 2026.
  • When — guidance, not computed: the naming is traditionally held on the eleventh or twelfth day after birth, when the ten days of sutak end. A family that cannot hold it then, or holds it later — at three months or at a year is common — picks a date from this list.
  • The name itself: the first syllable usually follows the pada of the child's birth nakshatra; the baby name finder gives the syllables for a birth date and time.
  • The day: sunrise to the next sunrise, for Ahmedabad. A day any closed period touches is left out whole; inside the days that remain, the muhurat is the time when every condition above holds at once, for at least 20 minutes.
  • Not checked here: the child's own chart and the lagna. A priest checks these against the birth details.

Namkaran Muhurat 2026 by month

Muhurat for another city

The day runs from sunrise to the next sunrise, and sunrise differs across India by well over an hour — so a window near dawn can belong to a different date in another city, and every clock time moves.

These links recompute the list for the city you pick. They are variants of this page: each carries a canonical back to the address above and asks search engines not to index it.
