Namkaran, the naming ceremony, is when a baby is formally given the name they’ll carry for life. Many families hold it on the 11th or 12th day after birth or a little later, with a puja, a sweet tray and elders whispering the chosen name into the baby’s ear. Traditions vary from family to family and region to region, and every version is beautiful.
