Rules used
Namkaran, the naming ceremony, is traditionally held on the 11th or 12th day after birth, when no separate muhurat is needed. If it is held later, a day with a fixed, movable, soft or quick nakshatra, a good tithi and weekday is chosen, avoiding Sankranti and eclipse days, preferably in the morning.
- Moon's nakshatra: Rohini, Uttara Phalguni, Uttara Ashadha, Uttara Bhadrapada, Punarvasu, Swati, Shravana, Dhanishta, Shatabhisha, Mrigashira, Chitra, Anuradha, Revati, Ashwini, Pushya, Hasta
- Tithi (Shukla paksha): Pratipada, Dwitiya, Tritiya, Panchami, Saptami, Dashami, Ekadashi, Dwadashi, Trayodashi; (Krishna paksha): Pratipada, Dwitiya, Tritiya, Panchami, Saptami, Dashami, Ekadashi, Dwadashi, Trayodashi
- Weekdays: Monday, Wednesday, Thursday, Friday
- No muhurat in an Adhik (extra) month
- Avoid the day of a Sankranti and of an eclipse
- Only between sunrise and sunset
These are the generally auspicious windows. For a ceremony, an astrologer also checks the lagna at the chosen moment and the Tara and Chandra bala of the people involved — the same window can suit one person better than another.
