🌟 Auspicious 💈 Dates

These dates are an auspicious-timing guide based on your child's birth star; please confirm the final muhurat (and any local customs) with your family priest.

How are these dates chosen?

A date is selected only when the Moon's nakshatra, the tithi (lunar day), the weekday and the child's Tara Bala (from their Janma Nakshatra) are all favourable for the ceremony — the same panchang factors a priest weighs. Mundan is traditionally performed after about 7 months of age, and often in the 1st, 3rd or 5th year.

Is this a final muhurat?

It is an accurate planning shortlist. Family traditions, the gotra, and exact local sunrise/sunset timings can refine the final choice, so confirm with your priest before fixing arrangements.
