Rishabs Mundan (Hair Tonsure)

On 9th of July we had Rishabs Mundan ceremony. It was held in Laxmi Narayan Temple here in Singapore. We took him to the temple around 10 in the morning. The maharaj came and did some pooja and this was followed by the head tonsure. Rishab sat in Papas lap and the barber gave Rishab a lollipop and started off. Ohh the ceremony went off in a breeze. No crying or any kind of drama from Rishab.  By 10.30 am we were done with his hair shaving. We then took him for a short bath and this was followed by a small pooja again and some thread tying on the wrist. We also went to a gurudwara the same day. It was a surprisingly calm and relaxed ceremony without any tantrums from Rishab. He was really enjoying his hair being removed. Actually I think Rishab likes cleanliness, he lets me clean his ears without any fuss.. Good boy!! Mommy loves you!!

    Hi nidhi, even I am planning for my sons mundan ceremony in Singapore. Did you pay anything for the temple as well other than the 50 $ for pandit and barber.

    Hi
    I experienced the laxmi narayan temple mundan ceremony myself yesterday. They ask you to make online booking of 51$ which they say includes everything but once done at the venue they ask you to pay 25$to the barber and then the pandit ji ask for dakshina separately.

    I felt cheated

      Hi Newme, When I checked with them they said that they would do it with razor, maybe the process has changed now, not sure, but surprising because I got my daughters mundane done too in the same temple in 2015 Dec and It was still the razor. Either the barber has changed or the Singapore rules have changed. You could try another temple just to confirm.
