Namakarana (Naming Ceremony) in Hyderabad
In Hyderabad, Telugu families call the naming ceremony Namakarana or Barasala, and North Indian families call it Namkaran. We arrange a purohit or Pandit to perform the puja at home, often with the cradle ceremony that many Telugu families hold on the same day.
The ceremony is usually a warm family gathering, held at home or in an apartment clubhouse when many relatives are coming.
माङ्गल्यं तन्तुनानेन मम जीवनहेतुना।
कण्ठे बध्नामि सुभगे त्वं जीव शरदां शतम्॥
Māṅgalyaṁ tantunānena mama jīvanahetunā, kaṇṭhe badhnāmi subhage tvaṁ jīva śaradāṁ śatam.
