Mundan called Tonsure in English is the act of shaving the baby’s first hair on the head. The tradition is considered important in Hindu tradition mandatory. During the mundan ceremony, a barber is assigned the task of shaving off the baby’s hair. In Hindus, the mundan ceremony is done between four months to three years of his birth. In Islamic tradition, it’s done between 7 to 40 days.
The time and rituals of mundan are different in different communities. In fact many communities only perform the mundan ceremony for boys and not girls. The ceremony is performed by a priest or the father of the baby.

The ninth house in a person’s natal chart is considered the house of father, ancestors, fate and fortune. A conjunction of Sun and Rahu in this house and other planetary combinations indicates Pitra Dosha, which erases all auspiciousness from the house of luck. Pitra Dosh in a horoscope indicates that a person has not done enough for his ancestors or that they remained dissatisfied with him for some reason. Pitra Dosha can also result when a family member dies an unnatural death or if someone has not offered his respects to the souls of deceased loved ones.
