    Overview

    Mundan Sanskar for families in Erragadda

    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.

    Erragadda sits on the north-west corridor of Hyderabad, with a metro station on the main road and the ESI and Chest Hospital campuses close by. Older housing colonies, market streets and a steady flow of hospital visitors give the area its everyday rhythm.

    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 Erragadda

    The main road near the metro station and the market is congested through the day; early morning is far easier for everyone.
    Colony lanes are narrow and often parked up, so give a landmark and your house or block number when you book.
    If the puja is for someone unwell, say so, and keep the setup in a quiet room away from the main hall.
    Terraces in older houses are usually the best place for a homam; check that the water tank and wiring are clear of the kund.
    Say whether you would like the mantras explained in Telugu so the family can follow along.
    Ask the Pandit for an auspicious day that suits your family custom.
    Keep a towel, clean clothes and a bowl for the hair ready.
