Why this score
18 Nov 2016 scores 32/100 for Naamkaran — the Panchang reads as unfavourable for naamkaran ceremony. On this Friday, the lunar day is Chaturthi (Krishna Paksha), the Nakshatra is Ardra, Yoga is Sadhya, and Karana is Balava. Together these elements shape whether tradition would green-light naamkaran ceremony right now.
Supporting signals: Positive energy alignment (Sadhya yoga); Favorable day of the week. Friction points: Unfavorable lunar day (Chaturthi); Challenging nakshatra (Ardra). Rahu Kaal runs 10:30 AM–12:00 PM; most families avoid signing or finalising during that window. Abhijit Muhurat (11:36 AM–12:24 PM) is the most commonly used “safe” slot if you must proceed today.
If you can wait, the next stronger window is 25 Nov 2016 (score 80/100, Excellent). A common pattern: prepare paperwork on a Neutral/Avoid day, then close on a Good or Excellent date.
