Mundan muhurat 2027: auspicious dates for the first haircut
The Mundan sanskar, a child’s first haircut, is traditionally held in the bright half of the lunar month under a movable or light nakshatra, outside Chaturmas and Holashtak. These are all the days of 2027 that pass those rules, with the start and end time of each muhurat for New Delhi. Families also follow their own custom on the child’s age.
Times for New Delhi (IST)
Every time on this page is India Standard Time for New Delhi. Sunrise, sunset and Rahu Kaal differ from city to city, so open the Muhurat finder and choose Mundan (first haircut) to get these windows for your own city.

Questions about Mundan muhurat in 2027
How many Mundan muhurat dates are there in 2027?
In 2027, 18 days have at least one Mundan muhurat in New Delhi, with 30 time windows in all. The first is on Monday, 11 January and the last on Friday, 31 December. By month: January 2, February 3, March 1, April 1, May 3, June 2, July 2, November 1, December 3.
Why is a date I had in mind not listed?
A day is listed only when at least 30 minutes of it pass every rule: a suitable nakshatra, tithi and weekday, outside Rahu Kaal, Yamaganda, Bhadra and the inauspicious yogas. Hours: sunrise to sunset. No Chaturmas. No Holashtak. No Adhik maas. A season that touches any part of a day rules out the whole day. Whole periods are also left out by tradition. Days set aside in 2027: Chaturmas (Devshayani to Devutthana Ekadashi): 68 days; Holashtak (the eight days before Holi): 5 days. Months of 2027 with no date: August, September and October.
Which nakshatras, tithis and weekdays does a Mundan muhurat need?
Movable and light stars in the bright half, outside Chaturmas and Holashtak. Nakshatras: Ashwini, Mrigashira, Punarvasu, Pushya, Hasta, Chitra, Swati, Shravana, Dhanishta and Shatabhisha. Tithis: Dwitiya, Tritiya, Panchami, Saptami, Dashami, Ekadashi and Trayodashi, in the bright half (Shukla paksha) only. Weekdays: Monday, Wednesday, Thursday and Friday. Hours: sunrise to sunset.
Are these muhurat times right for my city?
They are worked out for New Delhi, in India Standard Time. Sunrise, sunset and Rahu Kaal change from city to city, and the Panchang day begins at local sunrise, so in another city the windows shift and a date near the edge can change. The Muhurat finder works them out for any city.
Do I still need a priest to fix the hour?
These dates follow the classical Mundan rules used by the Muhurat finder. Regional customs differ, and a family priest may also look at your own birth star and Moon sign (Tara bala and Chandra bala) before fixing the hour.
