Rashi & Nakshatra

By the Avakahada chakra, the syllable table used at namkaran ceremonies.

This starting sound has no direct Avakahada chakra entry — a janam-kundli reading is the way to go

Traditionally this table runs the other way: a pandit reads the baby's birth star from the janam kundli and gives you a syllable to start the name with. The birth chart, not the name, is the authority. We show the reverse lookup for reference.
