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.
