Overview
Namkaran Sanskar for families in Katra
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.
Katra is one of the busiest market areas of Prayagraj, close to Allahabad University. Its shops, coaching centres and lanes of homes bring together long settled trading families, working households and students from across eastern Uttar Pradesh.
माङ्गल्यं तन्तुनानेन मम जीवनहेतुना।

Māṅgalyaṁ tantunānena mama jīvanahetunā, kaṇṭhe badhnāmi subhage tvaṁ jīva śaradāṁ śatam.
