Baby's First Year Sanskara Muhurats
A new baby fills every day. Let the first year's rites be planned, so none is missed.
A new baby brings so much joy, and the first year goes by fast. You want every blessing for your baby's health and long life. You do not want to miss a rite, even while living far from home.
The classical texts on muhurta shastra give a time for each rite of the first year. Families still keep them as blessings for the child. We plan all four together, for the city where each rite happens.
What you get
Four muhurats, planned together — 1) Newborn welcome (Jatakarma), 2) Naming ceremony (Namkaran), 3) Baby's first outing (Nishkramana), 4) First food (Annaprashan). Auspicious windows for each rite, for the city where it happens. The top 3 most auspicious ones highlighted. The days to avoid tagged along with the reasons. And, the classical text reference behind each recommendation.
What we need
The child's birth date, time and place, and the city of each rite.
These are the four sanskaras of a baby's first year. Jatakarma welcomes the newborn, Namkaran gives the name, Nishkramana is the first time the baby goes outside, and Annaprashan is the first taste of cooked food. We time each rite for the city where it happens.
