About the naming ceremony muhurat

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.

Is this right for my city?

These dates are read at sunrise for New Delhi. Across India the dates almost never change, but the hours move with your sunrise, by up to an hour between Kolkata and Mumbai. Outside India the date itself can shift. Check the dates for your own city, anywhere in the world, free.
