The baby naming ceremony takes alot into account, right from the date and time when it's carried out till selecting the letter of which the baby's name is decided. Grandpa is well versed in this and he can easily determine based on the birth time, positions of the stars and planets.
During the ceremony, rituals are performed by the priest and the major highlight is when the baby's name is written on rice. Daddy did the honors!
After which the baby's name is called out slowly into the baby's ears thrice. Family members, granparents brought gold ornaments as a gift for him. I had my share of it when I went through this. A copper, silver and brass anklet was also placed around his ankle along with an amulet that contains blessed holy ash is also tied around his waist.
2 days later, an elaborate lunch feast was arranged for extended family and friends.
