The best month for a mundan ceremony, an important ritual in Hindu culture where a child's hair is shaved for the first time, varies based on astrological considerations and family traditions. Traditionally, the months of Chaitra (March-April), Vaisakha (April-May), Jyeshtha (May-June), and Phalguna (February-March) are considered auspicious for performing a mundan. These months are often chosen based on favorable planetary positions that are believed to bring blessings to the child. Additionally, many families consult their family priests or astrologers to determine the date for the ceremony, taking into account the child's horoscope and nakshatra (birth star). Cultural practices also play a role in selecting the month for thisĀ ritual.
