What is the best muhurat for the namkaran ceremony?

Namkaran is usually done on the 11th or 12th day after birth, during an auspicious muhurat that avoids Rahu Kaal and inauspicious Nakshatras, with the Moon in a benefic sign.

The namkaran ceremony is traditionally performed on the 11th or 12th day after birth, when the mother and child are considered purified.

The chosen day should have a benefic Nakshatra and tithi, and the ceremony should be scheduled outside Rahu Kaal and Gulika Kaal.

Morning hours are preferred because the daytime muhurat is considered stronger for naming rituals.

The name's starting syllable should match the child's birth Nakshatra pada for maximum astrological benefit.
