The next shubh days
after NovemberWhat the muhurat is for
and how the day is keptMundan, chudakarana, is the first shaving of a child’s head. Manusmriti (2.35) puts it in the first or the third year, and many North Indian families keep to an odd year: the first, third or fifth. The child sits in the mother’s lap, a lock at the crown (the shikha) is often left, and the hair is offered at a temple or a river; the head is then washed and smoothed with turmeric or sandalwood paste.

shubh days for eachWhat the panchang asks for
First haircut- Ashwini, Mrigashira, Punarvasu, Pushya, Hasta, Chitra, Swati, Jyeshtha, Shravana, Dhanishta, Shatabhisha, Revati
- Shukla: Dwitiya, Tritiya, Panchami, Saptami, Dashami, Ekadashi, Trayodashi
- Krishna: Dwitiya, Tritiya, Panchami, Saptami, Dashami, Ekadashi, Trayodashi
- Monday, Wednesday, Thursday, Friday
These are the rules the standard panchangs apply for this work; they go back to the classical muhurat texts, Muhurta Chintamani above all.
Muhurta Chintamani sorts the 27 nakshatras by nature: swift (kshipra), for trade, learning and quick starts; soft (mridu), for gentle things such as friendship and music; movable (chara), for what moves, such as travel; sharp (tikshna), for cutting and severing work. This work takes the swift ones (Ashwini, Pushya, Hasta), the soft ones (Mrigashira, Chitra, Revati), the movable ones (Punarvasu, Swati, Shravana, Dhanishta, Shatabhisha) and the sharp ones (Jyeshtha). It leaves out the rikta (“empty”) tithis, Chaturthi, Navami and Chaturdashi, which are kept clear of beginnings, and Amavasya, the dark night. Its table also leaves out Shukla Pratipada, Shashthi, Ashtami and Dwadashi, and Krishna Pratipada, Shashthi, Ashtami and Dwadashi, which it does not count among this work’s tithis. Sunday is Surya’s day, Tuesday is Mangal’s day and Saturday is Shani’s day, and Surya, Mangal and Shani are krura (harsh) grahas: those days are left out.
All the rules for mundan: the months it is done in, the closed seasons and the hour

A muhurat read off the panchang is the same for everybody in New Delhi. Read against your own kundli it can move, and for mundan that is usually worth the ten minutes.
