About Namkaran
Namkaran is the naming, kept on the eleventh or twelfth day after a birth, or on the twenty-first where the family's custom says so. The nakshatra at the time of birth supplies a syllable, and the name chosen usually begins with it — which is why the birth time and place are asked for when the booking is made.
The rite is a Ganesh puja, a sankalp, the name said into the child's right ear by the father, and then aloud to the gathering. It is short, an hour or so, and is kept at home. Nothing about it needs a temple, and the tradition is specific that the name is announced rather than merely registered.
Keeping a rite in Deoghar
Deoghar's calendar is dominated by Shravan. Through that month the town belongs to the kanwar pilgrimage, the temple queues run day and night, and local pandits are committed to it; domestic bookings move to the months either side as a matter of routine.
Outside the season it is a small town where most rites are kept at home and the temple visit is a separate errand. Mundan and the first-hair rites are commonly kept at Baidyanath, which is a booking that has to be planned around the queue rather than around the muhurat alone.
