Naming a child after a Hindu deity is among the most auspicious practices in Indian culture — a gift of divine protection and a daily invocation. The Hindu tradition holds that every time a parent calls their child's name, they are, in that moment, calling upon the divine. From the fierce Rudra to the gentle Govind, from the dancing Nataraja to the elephant-headed Ganesha, every divine name carries a unique quality of the infinite.
