Overview
Namkaran Sanskar for families in Chowk
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.
Chowk is the old commercial heart of Varanasi, a dense network of lanes filled with wholesale markets, silk and sari shops, sweet shops and tall old houses. It lies in the old city between Godowlia and Maidagin, with the lanes towards Kashi Vishwanath close by.
माङ्गल्यं तन्तुनानेन मम जीवनहेतुना।
कण्ठे बध्नामि सुभगे त्वं जीव शरदां शतम्॥
