Overview
Mundan Sanskar for families in Katra
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.
Katra is one of the busiest market areas of Prayagraj, close to Allahabad University. Its shops, coaching centres and lanes of homes bring together long settled trading families, working households and students from across eastern Uttar Pradesh.
माङ्गल्यं तन्तुनानेन मम जीवनहेतुना।
कण्ठे बध्नामि सुभगे त्वं जीव शरदां शतम्॥
