We are invited to a Mundan ceremony this weekend. Is it appropriate to give a gift, and if so, what?

Answer 1

It so cool that you get to go to a Mundan. I have always been fascinated with Hinduism. It is the shaving of a childs head to move him forward into life. His first haircut. The clean shaven look is said to restore good Karma and thus bring good luck in the future. As for the gift, I would. Something to signify the special occasion. Maybe a nice sterling silver cup with his name, and the date of his Mundan. Or perhaps a sterling silver picture frame with his name and the date of his Mundan engraved. I think the something along that line is appropriate. Go and enjoy yourself!! Enjoy the experience for those of us who will never experience one!!!
