Rules used

Mundan (chudakarana), the first haircut, is done in the daytime in the Uttarayana months, with a favourable nakshatra, tithi and weekday, avoiding periods when Venus or Jupiter is combust. Custom decides the age — often the first, third or fifth year.

  • Moon's nakshatra: Punarvasu, Swati, Shravana, Dhanishta, Shatabhisha, Mrigashira, Chitra, Revati, Ashwini, Pushya, Hasta, Jyeshtha
  • Tithi (Shukla paksha): Dwitiya, Tritiya, Panchami, Saptami, Dashami, Ekadashi, Trayodashi; (Krishna paksha): Dwitiya, Tritiya, Panchami, Saptami, Dashami, Ekadashi, Trayodashi
  • Weekdays: Monday, Wednesday, Thursday, Friday
  • Sun's sign (solar month): Makara, Kumbha, Mesha, Vrishabha, Mithuna
  • No muhurat in an Adhik (extra) month
  • No muhurat while Venus or Jupiter is combust (Tara Asta), or in the 3 days before it sets and after it rises
  • Avoid the day of a Sankranti and of an eclipse
  • Only between sunrise and sunset

These are the generally auspicious windows. For a ceremony, an astrologer also checks the lagna at the chosen moment and the Tara and Chandra bala of the people involved — the same window can suit one person better than another.

There are 22 auspicious days for mundan (first haircut) in 2005 at New Delhi, by the rules listed on this page.

Why are there no muhurats in some months?
