First haircut sanskara

Find a Mundan muhurat

Mundan is the first ritual haircut for a child, traditionally performed in the first or third year. The right muhurat is selected for auspicious tithi, nakshatra, and the child's natal moon — the head being a sensitive area, the timing matters.

Classical considerations

  • - Traditionally performed in the first or third year (avoiding the second).
  • - Avoid Bhadra, Amavasya, eclipse periods, and the child's janma nakshatra.
  • - Favored tithis: Tritiya, Panchami, Saptami, Dashami, Ekadashi, Trayodashi.
  • - Auspicious nakshatras: Mrigashira, Pushya, Hasta, Punarvasu, Chitra, Swati, Dhanishta, Shatabhisha, Jyeshtha, Revati.
  • - Best weekdays: Monday, Wednesday, Thursday, Friday.

Used to weight days that align with your nakshatra and tarabala.
