What is Mundan called in English?

17 Feb 2026 | By Singh

Mundan, a traditional Hindu ceremony involving the shaving of a child's head, is commonly referred to as the "mundan ceremony" or "head tonsuring ceremony" in English. This significant ritual marks an important milestone in the child's life, symbolizing purity, renewal, and the shedding of negative karma. While "mundan" directly translates to "tonsure" or "head shaving" in English, the ceremony encompasses deeper cultural and spiritual meanings, celebrating growth and the beginning of a new phase in the child's journey.
