Change of religion is your fundamental right under Art 21 of The Constitution of India.

Change of religion & change of name, are Two different thinghs. Please do not mix up or be confused.

No specific legal procedure for conversion of Hinduism to Christianity are there. It is personal liberty. you are free to do it.

For conversion, get contact with some reputable church and Father. After conversion you will get a christian name. You may use it for religious purpose only but if you want to use it for all practical purposes then you have to make an affidevit with an announcement in news papers.
