When mundan pauses in 2026
Each of these closes the calendar, whatever the nakshatra:
- 1 January – 4 February: Venus set (Shukra asta)
- 1 January – 14 January: Kharmas (Sun in Dhanu)
- 15 March – 13 April: Kharmas (Sun in Meena)
- 17 May – 14 June: Adhika (leap) month
- 12 July – 14 August: Jupiter set (Guru asta)
- 17 July – 16 August: Sun in Karka
- 17 August – 16 September: Sun in Simha
- 17 September – 17 October: Sun in Kanya
- 9 October – 31 October: Venus set (Shukra asta)
- 18 October – 16 November: Sun in Tula
- 17 November – 15 December: Sun in Vrischika
- 16 December – 31 December: Kharmas (Sun in Dhanu)
How these dates are chosen
The Sun must be in Makara, Kumbha, Mesha, Vrishabha or Mithuna (roughly mid-January to mid-March and mid-April to mid-July). An adhika (leap) month is avoided, and so are the weeks when Venus (Shukra) or Jupiter (Guru) is set, with three days either side.
The day must be a Monday, Wednesday, Thursday or Friday, and the tithi Dwitiya, Tritiya, Panchami, Saptami, Dashami, Ekadashi or Trayodashi of either half of the month.
The Moon must be in one of 12 nakshatras: Ashwini, Mrigashira, Punarvasu, Pushya, Hasta, Chitra, Swati, Jyeshtha, Shravana, Dhanishta, Shatabhisha or Revati. A day with a Sankranti (the Sun changing sign) or an eclipse is dropped, and the window ends at sunset: mundan is never done at night.
Tradition adds two family checks this list cannot know: for an eldest child, avoid the Sun in Vrishabha (mid-May to mid-June), and a mundan is usually put off while the mother is more than five months pregnant. The lagna and the child’s Chandra and Tara bala are for your family priest.
