What is Mundan Ceremony?
Mundan (Chudakarana) is the first haircut of a child — usually in the first or third year — in which the birth hair is removed with mantras, for the child’s health, growth and long life.
The birth hair is believed to carry the impurities of birth; offering it is a samskara of purification. Many families offer the hair at their family deity’s temple — Tirumala, Palani or a kuladevata — and do the pooja at home.
