It is believed that a newborn’s hair carries impressions from past lives, and the mundan ceremony helps cleanse these impurities and bring purity into the child’s life.

No Auspicious Mundan Muhurat After July
All auspicious ceremonies such as mundan and marriage are prohibited during Chaturmas. In 2026, Devshayani Ekadashi falls on 25 July, marking the beginning of Chaturmas. This is why there are no auspicious mundan muhurats after 20 July 2026.
Auspicious Tithis For Mundan
Tithis considered favorable for the mundan ceremony include Dwitiya, Tritiya, Panchami, Saptami, Dashami, Ekadashi, and Trayodashi. Among the months, Magh and Phalguna are regarded as the most auspicious for performing a child’s mundan ceremony.
