Why is the Mundan Sanskar performed in Haridwar?
The literal meaning of the word Haridwar is ‘the doorway to Hari’. Haridwar is regarded as one of the holiest cities in Hinduism for conducting religious rites. It is also known as Devbhoomi, meaning the land of the gods. As a result, people from across India and abroad come here to perform various religious ceremonies, seeking direct blessings from gods and goddesses. In Hinduism, the importance of multiple locations for religious rituals is significant, and Haridwar is one such notable location. This is also one of the reasons for performing the Mundan Sanskar in Haridwar.
