What the muhurat is for
and how the day is keptNamkaran is the sanskar in which the baby’s name is first spoken. Manusmriti (2.30) puts it on the tenth or twelfth day after birth, and many North Indian families keep the eleventh or twelfth. After a small puja or havan, the father or an elder says the name into the baby’s right ear, and the first letter is often taken from the birth nakshatra.

Namkaran Muhurat, month by month
shubh days in each monthOther muhurats in August 2027
shubh days for eachWhat the panchang asks for
Naming a baby- Ashwini, Rohini, Mrigashira, Punarvasu, Pushya, Uttara Phalguni, Hasta, Chitra, Swati, Anuradha, Uttara Ashadha, Shravana, Dhanishta, Shatabhisha, Uttara Bhadrapada, Revati
- These are the fixed (dhruva), movable (chara), gentle (mridu) and swift (kshipra) nakshatras of the classical classification: every nakshatra but the fierce, sharp and mixed ones, which the muhurat texts keep away from a sanskar
- Shukla: Pratipada, Dwitiya, Tritiya, Panchami, Saptami, Dashami, Ekadashi, Dwadashi, Trayodashi
- Krishna: Pratipada, Dwitiya, Tritiya, Panchami, Saptami, Dashami, Ekadashi, Dwadashi, Trayodashi
- Monday, Wednesday, Thursday, Friday
These are the rules the standard panchangs apply for this work; they go back to the classical muhurat texts, Muhurta Chintamani above all.
Muhurta Chintamani sorts the 27 nakshatras by nature: fixed (dhruva), for what is meant to last; swift (kshipra), for trade, learning and quick starts; soft (mridu), for gentle things such as friendship and music; movable (chara), for what moves, such as travel. This work takes the fixed ones (Rohini, Uttara Phalguni, Uttara Ashadha, Uttara Bhadrapada), the swift ones (Ashwini, Pushya, Hasta), the soft ones (Mrigashira, Chitra, Anuradha, Revati) and the movable ones (Punarvasu, Swati, Shravana, Dhanishta, Shatabhisha). It leaves out the rikta (“empty”) tithis, Chaturthi, Navami and Chaturdashi, which are kept clear of beginnings, and Amavasya, the dark night. Its table also leaves out Shukla Shashthi and Ashtami, and Krishna Shashthi and Ashtami, which it does not count among this work’s tithis. Sunday is Surya’s day, Tuesday is Mangal’s day and Saturday is Shani’s day, and Surya, Mangal and Shani are krura (harsh) grahas: those days are left out.
