Overview
Mundan Sanskar for families in Ramnagar
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.
Ramnagar lies on the eastern bank of the Ganga, across the river from the main city of Varanasi. It is best known for Ramnagar Fort, the historic residence of the former rulers of Banaras, and for its long-running traditional Ramlila held around Dussehra.
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 Ramnagar
Ramnagar is reached by road across the river; allow extra travel time from the ghats and central Varanasi.
Share your exact location in advance, as Pandits may be travelling from the city side.
Traffic can build up during the Ramlila and Dussehra period.
Independent houses and courtyards make larger havans and family gatherings easier.
For rituals that need the Ganga, the Pandit can advise whether to go to a ghat on the city side.
