When is the right time for the mundan ceremony?

Mundan is done in the 1st or 3rd year of the child, usually in the months of Magha, Phalguna, Vaishakha, or Jyeshtha, on an auspicious muhurat when the Moon is in a benefic Nakshatra.

Traditionally, mundan is performed between the first and third year of age, before the child starts school.

Auspicious months include Magha, Phalguna, Vaishakha, and Jyeshtha, while months like Ashadha and Bhadrapada are generally avoided.

The muhurat should avoid Rahu Kaal, Gulika Kaal, and inauspicious Nakshatras like Ashlesha or Jyeshtha.

The child's Janma Nakshatra and the day of the week are also checked before finalizing the date.
