Choulam / Mundhana (Tonsure)


The basic aim of this smaskara is to cut the hair for the first time for getting pleasant personality, good fortune and long life.  After cutting the hair is either mixed with cow dung and buried in Gosala or thrown in a river as these hair is prone to Abhichara or black magic.

Even years should be avoided.  Chudakarana or Mundana should not be performed to the eldest son or daughter when Sun is in Taurus. If mother is having pregnancy of more than 5 months, then mundane for the child of less than 5 years age should not be done.

Solar months of Makara, Kumbha, Mesha, Vrishabha and Mithuna are considered auspicious.

Tithis: 2,3,5,7,10,11,13 tithis are auspipcious.

Days: Monday, Wednesday, Thursday and Friday are good.
