What is Mundan Sanskar?
The traditional first haircut ceremony for a child, performed with Vedic prayers, at home or on the banks of the Ganga in Varanasi.
The age and timing vary by family, often in the first or third year, and the ceremony can be kept short and gentle for the child.
माङ्गल्यं तन्तुनानेन मम जीवनहेतुना।
कण्ठे बध्नामि सुभगे त्वं जीव शरदां शतम्॥
Why Families Choose Pune for Mundan Sanskar
In Maharashtra the first haircut is often called Javal, and many families take the child to their kuldevata, such as Khandoba at Jejuri or Tulja Bhavani, for it. Others hold the rite at home in Pune and offer the hair later.
North Indian families in Wakad, Kharadi and Hadapsar may follow customs like the Mundan at a river or a family temple back home. When travel is not possible, a home Mundan in Pune with a Pandit is a common choice.
