Book a pandit for mundan in May 2026
Pick a date and Stuti Mandir books a verified pandit for it, at home anywhere we serve in India. The mundan ceremony starts from ₹3,500; the full dakshina is shown before you pay online. For the exact lagna for your family, book a 15-minute annaprashana / mundan muhurat call for ₹501.
How these dates are worked out
- Every date is worked out from the panchang with the same astronomy as the Stuti Mandir Panchang: tithi from the Moon–Sun angle, nakshatra and yoga from their sidereal (Lahiri) longitudes, and the weekday from sunrise.
- A window opens only while the ceremony’s nakshatra, tithi and weekday are all favourable together, and closes at the first change that breaks one of them. Vishti (Bhadra) karana, the Vyatipata and Vaidhriti yogas and nakshatra gandanta are always left out.
- Times are IST. Tithi and nakshatra change at the same moment everywhere in India, so the windows hold nationwide; the weekday is taken from sunrise at Bengaluru, which can move the edge of a window that starts before dawn by a few minutes in your city.
- These are general (panchang shuddhi) dates. The pandit then checks the family’s tarabala and chandrabala and fixes the lagna inside the window — which is why the same date can suit one family better than another.
Questions devotees ask us
What are the mundan muhurat dates in May 2026?
Monday, 4 May 2026, 9:57 AM – 4:12 PM IST (Jyeshtha, Krishna Tritiya); Friday, 8 May 2026, 1:16 AM – 5:56 AM (9 May) IST (Shravana, Krishna Saptami); Monday, 11 May 2026, 3:25 PM – 1:04 AM (12 May) IST (Shatabhisha, Krishna Dashami).
Which is the best mundan date in May 2026?
Every date listed passes the same panchang checks; the best one for you depends on your family’s janma nakshatras (tarabala and chandrabala) and on a good lagna within the window. A pandit can confirm it on a short call.
Are these times valid in my city?
Yes, anywhere in India: tithi and nakshatra change at the same instant everywhere, and times are in IST. Only a window that starts before sunrise can shift by a few minutes, because the weekday is taken from sunrise (at Bengaluru).
How much does a pandit cost for mundan in May 2026?
The mundan ceremony starts from ₹3,500 with Stuti Mandir in the metros; the exact dakshina for your city, platform fee and GST are shown before you pay. Samagri is arranged by the family; the pandit shares the list.
