    Overview

    Namkaran Sanskar for families in Pocharam

    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.

    Pocharam is one of the planned growth zones on the eastern side of Hyderabad, built up around the technology campuses in the special economic zone there. Gated villa communities, new apartment towers and wide internal roads give it a very different feel from the older neighbourhoods nearby.
