Overview
Namkaran Sanskar for families in Nizampet
Namkaran Sanskar is the ceremony in which a newborn is formally given their name. One of the sixteen Hindu sanskars, it is a joyful family occasion, bringing together parents, grandparents and relatives to bless the child at the start of life.
Nizampet adjoins KPHB Colony and Kukatpally in north-west Hyderabad, with Bachupally to its north. Over the years it has filled with apartment buildings, busy shopping streets and residential colonies, making it one of the more densely built parts of the city's western side.
माङ्गल्यं तन्तुनानेन मम जीवनहेतुना।
कण्ठे बध्नामि सुभगे त्वं जीव शरदां शतम्॥
Māṅgalyaṁ tantunānena mama jīvanahetunā, kaṇṭhe badhnāmi subhage tvaṁ jīva śaradāṁ śatam.
