Overview
Mundan Sanskar for families in Shankarapuram
Mundan Sanskar, also known as Chudakarana, is the ceremony of a child’s first haircut. One of the sixteen Hindu sanskars, it is traditionally performed in the early years of childhood, and in many families it is an important occasion shared with grandparents and relatives.
Shankarapuram sits between Basavanagudi, Chamarajpet and Hanumanthanagar and takes its name from the Shankara Mutt, a branch of the Sringeri Sharada Peetham. The streets are mostly residential, with old tiled houses slowly giving way to small apartment buildings.
माङ्गल्यं तन्तुनानेन मम जीवनहेतुना।
कण्ठे बध्नामि सुभगे त्वं जीव शरदां शतम्॥
Māṅgalyaṁ tantunānena mama jīvanahetunā, kaṇṭhe badhnāmi subhage tvaṁ jīva śaradāṁ śatam.
