Mundan Muhurat 2026

The most auspicious mundan muhurat dates in 2026 are listed above with their exact time windows, nakshatra and tithi. Dates marked "excellent" have all Panchang elements favourably aligned.

A mundan muhurat is selected using the Hindu Panchang — the nakshatra (lunar mansion), tithi (lunar day), weekday, yoga and karana — while avoiding inauspicious periods like Rahu Kaal and Bhadra. Mundan Sanskar (Chudakarana) is the ritual of shaving a child's head for the first time, usually in the 1st, 3rd, or 5th year. It promotes good health and removes past-life karma.

Key guidelines: Child should be in odd year of age (1st, 3rd, or 5th); Avoid Tuesdays and Saturdays; Shukla Paksha preferred.
