Overview
Mundan Sanskar for families in Saroornagar
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.
Saroornagar lies in the south-east of the city, built around its lake and the sports stadium nearby. It is one of the older settled parts of this side of Hyderabad, with government employee colonies, housing board blocks and quiet residential lanes that have been lived in for decades.
माङ्गल्यं तन्तुनानेन मम जीवनहेतुना।
कण्ठे बध्नामि सुभगे त्वं जीव शरदां शतम्॥
Māṅgalyaṁ tantunānena mama jīvanahetunā, kaṇṭhe badhnāmi subhage tvaṁ jīva śaradāṁ śatam.
Planning your puja in Saroornagar
Roads towards LB Nagar and Dilsukhnagar are slow at office hours; an early-morning muhurtham is usually easier for everyone.
Older colony houses often have a terrace or open sit-out that suits a small homam.
Lanes inside the colonies can be narrow, so arrange a parking or drop-off point for the Pandit.
In the newer apartment blocks, check the association's rules on smoke before planning a homam.
