Overview

Mundan Sanskar for families in Amberpet

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.

Amberpet is an old residential locality in eastern Hyderabad, tightly built and close to Nallakunta, Golnaka and the Musi. Independent houses, small blocks of flats and lanes barely wide enough for a car make up most of the neighbourhood.

माङ्गल्यं तन्तुनानेन मम जीवनहेतुना।
कण्ठे बध्नामि सुभगे त्वं जीव शरदां शतम्॥

Māṅgalyaṁ tantunānena mama jīvanahetunā, kaṇṭhe badhnāmi subhage tvaṁ jīva śaradāṁ śatam.

With this holy thread, the cause of my life, I tie the mangalya around your neck, O auspicious one. May you live for a hundred autumns.Traditional vivaha mantra

Planning your puja in Amberpet

The lanes are narrow and often one way in practice; share a landmark and expect the Pandit to walk the last stretch.

For Shraddha, keep the details ready in advance, the ancestor's name, gotra and tithi, and the date of passing if you have it.

Shraddha and Tarpan are performed in the morning, so book an early slot and tell the household to plan the day around it.

Terraces and inner courtyards in these older houses are the usual place for a homam or havan.

During Pitru Paksha the demand is very high across the city, so enquire several days ahead.

Ask the Pandit for an auspicious day that suits your family custom.

Keep a towel, clean clothes and a bowl for the hair ready.
