• Weekday: Monday, Wednesday, Thursday or Friday. Not in Pitru Paksha.

Pick a date and Stuti Mandir books a verified pandit for it, at home anywhere we serve in India. The namakaranam starts from ₹3,100; the full dakshina is shown before you pay online. For the exact lagna for your family, book a 20-minute namakarana — baby name letters call for ₹601.

• Every date is worked out from the panchang with the same astronomy as the Stuti Mandir Panchang: tithi from the Moon–Sun angle, nakshatra and yoga from their sidereal (Lahiri) longitudes, and the weekday from sunrise.
• A window opens only while the ceremony’s nakshatra, tithi and weekday are all favourable together, and closes at the first change that breaks one of them. Vishti (Bhadra) karana, the Vyatipata and Vaidhriti yogas and nakshatra gandanta are always left out.
• Times are IST. Tithi and nakshatra change at the same moment everywhere in India, so the windows hold nationwide; the weekday is taken from sunrise at Bengaluru, which can move the edge of a window that starts before dawn by a few minutes in your city.
• These are general (panchang shuddhi) dates. The pandit then checks the family’s tarabala and chandrabala and fixes the lagna inside the window — which is why the same date can suit one family better than another.
