Mundan
Posted by ShivanshiIt is our family tradition to get the hair saved once. We call it mundan. They say it helps in better growth of the hair. We originally wanted to have this done in Trayambakeshwar Temple at Nashik. However, the prists refused to carry out the ceremony – They say it applies only to boys.
We then decided for Balaji temple near Pune. Well its one of the most magnificent replica of the original Balaji temple. The two are associated also. All hairs shaved in the temple premises are finally collected and sent to Tirupti. Its a wonderful place to visit.
All said and done; I certainly hated to part with my lovely hairs. But I didn’t cry.
