There are few moments as sacred and joyful as the day a child receives their name — a name whispered with love, carried in prayers, and written into the hearts of all who gather.

We had the honour of capturing Kirtan Sritej’s Naming Ceremony, a celebration filled with warmth, devotion, and tradition. Surrounded by loving family, soft smiles, and heartfelt blessings, baby Kirtan was gently embraced into a world of identity, belonging, and endless love.

As sacred mantras were chanted and rituals performed, the room echoed with hope — for his health, happiness, and a life filled with purpose. Every hand that touched him, every smile that surrounded him, felt like the universe welcoming him home.

Wrapped in softness and held in love, Kirtan Sritej began his journey not just with a name, but with the strength of generations, the purity of tradition, and the unspoken promise of a future full of light.

At Mustard Backyard Collective, we didn’t just capture a ceremony —
We captured the very first chapter of a life beautifully unfolding.
