Namkaran Muhurat 2026

All 100 auspicious dates for naming ceremony in 2026, with the hours in which the nakshatra and tithi both hold, and the seasons when there are none.

By TrueSaath · computed with the Lahiri ayanamsa · updated 2026-10-23 · हिन्दी में

Namkaran, the naming ceremony, is traditionally held on the eleventh or twelfth day after birth, or on the first good day after. Because a baby cannot wait four months, only the solar seasons are applied, Kharmas and adhik maas. The first syllable of the name usually comes from the baby's birth nakshatra.

The rules these dates follow

Nakshatras accepted: Anuradha, Ashwini, Chitra, Dhanishtha, Hasta, Mrigashira, Punarvasu, Pushya, Revati, Rohini, Shatabhisha, Shravana, Swati, Uttara Ashadha, Uttara Bhadrapada and Uttara Phalguni.

Tithis accepted (in either paksha): Pratipada, Dwitiya, Tritiya, Panchami, Saptami, Dashami, Ekadashi, Dwadashi, Trayodashi and Purnima. Rikta tithis and Amavasya are always refused.

Weekdays: Monday, Wednesday, Thursday and Friday.

Seasons avoided: Kharmas and Adhik maas. Traditionally on the eleventh day or later. Only the solar seasons are applied, because a naming cannot wait four months for Chaturmas to end.

A date is listed only if some part of the day carries an accepted nakshatra and an accepted tithi together. The hours column is that part of the day, in Indian Standard Time.

Questions people ask

How many naming ceremony muhurat dates are there in 2026?

100 dates in 2026, read for New Delhi. The most come in October, July and August.

Do the dates change for my city?

Inside India the dates almost never change; the hours move with sunrise. Outside India a date can shift by a day. The free muhurat tool on TrueSaath reads them for any city.

Should a pandit still confirm the date?

Yes, if your family follows one. These dates apply the classical rules in the open, so you can see why each one passed, but family custom, the kundli and local practice can narrow them further.
