Frequently asked questions

At what age is Mundan done?

Most families perform it in the first, third or fifth year. The age rule follows family tradition.

Is the same date auspicious in every city?

Tithi and nakshatra are nearly the same across India, but sunrise, Rahu Kaal and the exact windows change with the city, so pick yours.

How should I fix the final date?

This list follows general Panchang rules. Before fixing the date, confirm it with your family priest against the horoscopes of the people involved.

How these dates are chosen

For each day, from sunrise to the next sunrise, the exact change times of tithi, nakshatra, yoga, karana and Moon sign come from NASA JPL DE440s ephemeris calculations with the Lahiri ayanamsa. They are matched to the purpose's rules, and Bhadra, Vyatipata, Vaidhriti, Rahu Kaal and Yamaganda are removed.

Whole days ruled out
Chaturmas, Kharmas, Guru or Shukra asta, Adhik Maas (by purpose)
Extra weight
Sarvartha Siddhi, Amrit Siddhi, Guru Pushya, Ravi Pushya, Abhijit Muhurat, Shukla Paksha
Personal (optional)
Chandra bala and Tara bala
Lagna shuddhi and kundli matching are not included; have them checked by a priest.
