Mundan (chudakarana) removes the birth-hair, freeing the child of womb-imprints — it is a rite on a tender child, so along with the day's purity, season and the child's health are weighed.
Tradition prefers the odd years — the 1st, 3rd, 5th or 7th. Uttarayana, and the months from Magha to Jyeshtha, are favourable; Chaturmas is usually avoided.
Mundan nakshatras: Ashwini, Mrigashira, Punarvasu, Pushya, Hasta, Chitra, Swati, Jyeshtha, Shravana, Dhanishtha and Revati. Monday, Wednesday, Thursday and Friday are good; avoid Tuesday and Saturday.
Many traditions skip the child's birth month, and a time when the mother is in the fifth month of pregnancy; Bhadra, Amavasya, rikta tithis and Rahu Kaal are always barred. If done at a tirtha by family custom, that place's rite prevails.
A muhurat depends on the tithi and nakshatra at local sunrise and on the day's choghadiya, which are divisions of New Jersey's own day. New Jersey's sunrise comes hours after India's, so the tithi can change in between — that is why a date here can differ from an Indian panchang by a day.
New Jersey local time (EDT), with daylight saving applied automatically.
No — these are panchang-clean days for New Jersey. Fix the final date only after matching the birth charts of the people concerned (Chandra-bala, Tara-bala, running dasha): use the muhurat tool with your birth details or consult an astrologer.
Do it in a good nakshatra-day once the odd year begins — the shastra insists on a clean muhurta, not the exact birth date.
In many families yes (chudakarana is a sanskar for all), in some no — it is a family-tradition matter and the shastra honours both.
Traditionally it is offered to flowing water or at a tirtha — follow your purohit's guidance.
