Nwaran / Nuwaran / Naamkaran is a child naming ceremony celebrated in Nepal.

In the Hindu tradition, the Nwaran is celebrated on the 8th day of birth for girls, and 9th for boys. This ceremony is performed to give a birth name to a child, according to their lunar horoscope, which is usually not the name by which they are known. Typically, a priest is invited to perform the ceremony at home, who finds the child's lunar horoscope from their birth details, as the mother is still recovering at home with the child. Until the mother and child are taken to anybody after this process. Some people also tend to perform the Nwaran ceremony on the 11th day.

Before the Puja, the puja materials should be washed and kept clean and ready in the puja place. You can select a place for the puja, depending on the number of people you are going to call. The puja should be done facing east or west.
