Overview

Mundan Sanskar for families in Maidagin

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.

Maidagin is a busy crossing and neighbourhood in the northern part of old Varanasi, close to Chowk and the old city lanes. It is a key junction where traffic from the newer parts of the city meets the narrow streets leading into old Banaras.

माङ्गल्यं तन्तुनानेन मम जीवनहेतुना।

कण्ठे बध्नामि सुभगे त्वं जीव शरदां शतम्॥

Traditional vivaha mantra

Planning Your Puja in Maidagin

The Maidagin crossing is very congested for much of the day; early mornings are easiest.
Vehicles can reach the main road, but homes inside the old city lanes usually need a walk.
Sundays and Tuesdays can be busier near the Kaal Bhairav temple lanes.
Share a landmark so the Pandit can find your house quickly.
Rooftops are commonly used for havans in older homes.
Ask the Pandit for an auspicious day, as many families follow the child's age and month.
Tell us if you need a barber arranged along with the Pandit.
