The Mundan ceremony is a Hindu tradition involving shaving a baby's first hair, typically between the ages of one and three. It is believed to cleanse the baby of past-life influences and negativity, protect them from evil, and bless them with a prosperous future. The ceremony, also known as tonsure or chudakarana, is a significant ritual often celebrated with family, friends, and a priest.

Significance and purpose

Spiritual cleansing: The ceremony is thought to remove impurities from the womb and even past-life karma, giving the child a fresh start.

Protection: It is believed to protect the baby from evil spirits and the "evil eye".

Healthy hair growth: Some believe the ritual encourages healthier and stronger hair growth.

Purification: It is one of the 16 purification rituals (Shodasha Samskaras) performed for a child in Hinduism.

How it is performed

Timing: The ceremony is usually performed when the baby is between one and three years old, though some traditions may vary.

Location: It can be performed at home, in a temple, or at a holy site, depending on family preference.

Rituals: A barber or priest shaves the baby's hair, sometimes after a priest performs prayers and rituals. The hair might be offered to a deity.

Aftercare: After the shaving, it is common to apply a cooling paste like sandalwood (chandan) to the baby's scalp to soothe the skin.

Celebration: The event is a family gathering where relatives and friends come to bless the child.
