Mundan Description
Mundan Pooja is an important part of Hindu culture. Accordingly, it is done between 7 days to 3 months after a child’s birth.

Tribute is offered to Lord Ganesh, Maa Lakshmi, and the Navagrahas.
During the Pooja, Homam is performed, after which the priest cuts off a part of the baby’s hair. Following this, a barber shaves off the hair completely, leaving only a tuft of hair at the back of the head. Also after shaving, Gangajal is poured on the bald head and a mixture of sandalwood and turmeric paste is applie
This sacred ceremony is performed by Pandit Sunil Sharma in strict adherence to Vedic scriptures and family traditions. Every mantra is chanted with correct pronunciation and intonation to maximize the spiritual energy and divine vibration during the event.

शत्रुबुद्धिविनाशाय दीपज्योतिर्नमोऽस्तुते ॥"
