Right age for the Mundan Sanskar of a child

Mundan or Chudakaran Sanskar is the ceremony of shaving a child’s head for the first time. It is usually performed between the ages of 1 and 3, though in some cases it may be conducted up to age 7. This is one of the sixteen sanskaras of Hinduism. The appropriate age can also vary depending on a family's customs and beliefs.
