Why this score
16 May 2106 scores 46/100 for Naamkaran — the Panchang reads as mixed for naamkaran ceremony. On this Sunday, the lunar day is Chaturdashi (Shukla Paksha), the Nakshatra is Swati, Yoga is Vyatipata, and Karana is Gara. Together these elements shape whether tradition would green-light naamkaran ceremony right now.
Supporting signals: Auspicious nakshatra (Swati); Supportive lunar phase (Gara). Friction points: Unfavorable lunar day (Chaturdashi); Challenging energy period (Vyatipata yoga).
