Mundan — the child’s first ceremonial haircut — is a samskara marking release from the past and a clean start. It is traditionally performed in the odd years of life, on gentle nakshatras, avoiding the child’s own birth star.
Avoid Amavasya, Rikta tithis, Tuesdays and Saturdays, and the child’s own janma nakshatra. Traditionally not performed during the mother’s pregnancy.

Mundan is usually performed in the 1st, 3rd, or 5th year. Because the child’s birth star must be excluded, confirm the date against the child’s nakshatra before fixing it.
These are general (public) muhurats based on the panchang — the same basis almanacs publish. A complete muhurat also weighs your own chart: Tara Bala, Chandra Bala, and the strength of the relevant house. Timings shown are computed for New Delhi; for other cities see the local panchang.
Ask our AI Vedic astrologer whether a specific date suits your birth chart — Tara Bala, Chandra Bala, and the house involved. 5 free questions every month.
