When mundan pauses in 2027

Each of these closes the calendar, whatever the nakshatra:

  • 1 January – 14 January: Kharmas (Sun in Dhanu)
  • 15 March – 14 April: Kharmas (Sun in Meena)
  • 16 July – 12 September: Venus set (Shukra asta)
  • 17 July – 17 August: Sun in Karka
  • 13 August – 15 September: Jupiter set (Guru asta)
  • 18 August – 17 September: Sun in Simha
  • 18 September – 17 October: Sun in Kanya
  • 18 October – 16 November: Sun in Tula
  • 17 November – 16 December: Sun in Vrischika
  • 17 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.

Which are the best mundan dates in 2027?

The 29 dates listed here all pass the Panchang checks for mundan: a good solar month, Venus and Jupiter visible, a good weekday and tithi, one of the 12 mundan nakshatras, and no Sankranti or eclipse.

At what age is mundan done?

Most families do it in the first, third or fifth year (odd years). Some do it at a temple on a family date; the muhurat then helps choose the day.

Why are there no mundan dates in some months?

Mundan is done only while the Sun is in Makara, Kumbha, Mesha, Vrishabha or Mithuna, and not in an adhika month or while Venus or Jupiter is set. From mid-July to mid-January there are no dates.

Are these dates the same in every city?

The days almost always are; the start and end times move by a few minutes with sunrise and longitude. Times here are for New Delhi.
