Next month we are going to have mundan(shaving the first hair) ceremony for my daughter. For us its we have to do it at our native place. Its a grand ceremony in which all our relatives are invited and we have party.
Do you also have mundan ceremony for your baby and how do you celebrate it.
yes we have similar ceremony.
we visit some religious places for the mundan like banaras and haridwar.
We also have a similar ceremony.
Something I like about this ceremony is that I do not have to do anything.
All the preparations are done by grandparents
And paternal aunt has to do all the rituals
At our place we have mundan for boys only so we did not have mundan for my daughter.
We did shave the first hair of our daughters but do not have any grand ceremony for that. We just have a puja and that it. Its just a family matter.
For us we don't do anything special for mundan. Its just that we have to get the first hair of the baby shaved.
We also had a grand mundan ceremony for my son. Infact in our hometown we hire some people who play dhol and we go to the river side with all family and friends and have the mundan done. Then we have grand ceremony at home once we are back.
We have a grand celebration for mundan. We are going to have mundan for our son in May and we have already started with the preparations.
