The birth minute and city in, the Moon's nakshatra pada out — and from it the syllable tradition says the name should begin with, a curated list of names that do, and the ceremony dates. No account, no person on the other side reading the details.

One bead a second, and one second for each of the 27 nakshatras — the moon's is where the syllable comes from. The beads are tinted by each nakshatra's Vimshottari lord, nine lords in three rounds of nine, which is the wheel as it is actually written and not a decoration. The paper is handed over on the last bead and not before. The steps above are the real sequence in the real order, paced to the mala rather than to a stopwatch: the engine does not report its own progress, and a bar that claimed to know would be inventing it.

The syllable is computed. The name is chosen — by you. Being exact about that line is the whole product:
Nowhere — unless you tick a box and ask. The child's date and time exist as numbers inside one calculation and are gone when it ends: not saved to a file, not put in a database, not kept in your browser. The form is sent as a body, never a link, so the birth moment never enters an address bar or a log. Nobody at Darshan reads it, because there is nowhere to read it from — no inbox, no order queue, no file with a name on it. If you do ask us to keep a copy, it is encrypted before it is written and can only be opened by the reference number you are handed. What survives your visit is a tally line — the date, the word "naamkaran", the city, whether the engine finished — and nothing else.
The paper is handed back to your browser as a download and is not kept on our side either — so keep the file. It is the sort of document a family looks for again in eighteen years.
We already have a name we love.
Then the paper is a checking tool rather than a search: the syllable, the rule it comes from, and the full table are all printed, so you can see for yourselves how the name you love sits against the pada — and decide with the fact in hand rather than without it. The choice was always going to be yours.
What if the syllable is one nobody uses any more?
The paper says so, plainly, and shows the classical handling for that case — it does not pad the list to hide it. A short honest list beats a long invented one.
Our pandit uses a slightly different table.
Regional variants are real, which is exactly why all 108 cells are printed. Hand the paper over and let them check it — the computed pada is the part that cannot differ, and the rest is laid out to be argued with.
Is a person going to read the birth details?
No. Not as a policy — as a fact about how this is built. There is no copy for anyone to read.
Whose order is this, legally?
A minor's chart is computed only on a parent's request. You are on this page, so we take you at your word; the responsibility is yours.
What if the mathematics is wrong?
Tell us and we stop. A mathematical error means the engine is fixed before anything else ships — and a corrected paper. Write to —.
