What decides the cost of a Namkaran
A naming is an hour at home with a short samagri list, which makes it one of the least expensive rites on the site. Where it costs more is where it is combined — a namkaran and an annaprashan kept on the same day are two rites and are quoted as two, even in one sitting.
What is different in Ara
Ara is walkable and travel within the town is short. The rites kept here tend to be the longer, more social ones, and length is what moves the quote — a rite with the singing in it runs past the hour a shorter household puja would take.
