Baby Names by Nakshatra for Mumbai: what is different here

The Moon moves through one Nakshatra in about a day, and through one pada in about six hours, so the birth time matters. Enter the time on the birth record exactly as written; in Mumbai that is India Standard Time (UTC+5:30), the same as India (IST). Below you can see the Nakshatra in Mumbai right now and its syllables.

At sunrise today in Mumbai the Moon is in Mrigashira, pada 4. Names for a baby born in this Nakshatra traditionally start with: Ve, Vo, Ka, Ki (one syllable for each of the four padas).

Mumbai by the numbers

Daylight in Mumbai today lasts 11 h 28 min. Over the year it ranges from about 10 h 59 min to 13 h 17 min, so Rahu Kaal here is anywhere from 82 to 100 minutes long, and every daytime Muhurat stretches and shrinks with the seasons.

Sunrise in Mumbai today is 6:37 AM, 4 minutes later on the clock than in Pune (120 km away). Even nearby cities need their own Panchang.

Time in Mumbai and why it matters

Mumbai is on India Standard Time (UTC+5:30), the same as India (IST).

Mumbai does not use daylight saving time, so the clock stays the same all year. Enter birth times exactly as written on the birth certificate.

Vedic traditions in Mumbai

Mumbai lives by the calendar of Ganeshotsav, Navratri and Gudi Padwa, and Siddhivinayak Temple in Prabhadevi sees long queues every Tuesday and Sankashti Chaturthi. With busy work schedules, many Mumbai families check the Muhurat and Rahu Kaal online before a property registration, a car delivery or a new business launch.

Questions from Mumbai

Can I also make a name from both parents' names?

Yes. The Parent Blend tool suggests modern names that combine both parents' names.

My baby was born in Mumbai. Should I use Indian time?

No. Use the local time on the birth record and Mumbai as the birthplace. Zodastro converts it to work out the correct Nakshatra.
