Overview
Namkaran Sanskar for families in Rathyatra
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.
Rathyatra is one of the best-known crossings in central Varanasi, linking Sigra, Mahmoorganj and the roads towards the south of the city. Its name comes from the traditional Rath Yatra fair of Lord Jagannath held in the area each year.
माङ्गल्यं तन्तुनानेन मम जीवनहेतुना।
कण्ठे बध्नामि सुभगे त्वं जीव शरदां शतम्॥
