Namkaran Gifts – Thoughtful Presents & Outfits for a Baby’s Naming Ceremony

A Namkaran ceremony celebrates one of the most special milestones in a child’s journey — introducing their name, identity, and blessings to family and loved ones. The Almirah’s collection of Namkaran gifts brings together angrakha sets and kurta sets in soft, breathable cotton — handblock printed or embroidered in our signature motifs — so your little one is dressed for the occasion in comfort.

What to Wear for a Baby's Naming Ceremony

Namkaran outfits are Light, breathable cotton — ceremonies often involve extended time being held and passed around family members, so soft, non-restrictive fabric matters more than for everyday wear.

Angrakha sets — a kimono-style wrap top with matching pants, traditional and easy to dress a newborn in.

Kurta sets — a short kurta with white or coordinating pants, suitable from newborn sizes right up to 9 years, so older siblings can match too.

Consider a gift set — our Kurta Gift Set bundles two prints with a pant, useful if you'd like a spare outfit on hand for the day.
