Step 1: Check the Weekday (Vara)

✅ Favorable: Monday, Wednesday, Thursday, Friday
❌ Avoid: Sunday, Saturday

❌ Avoid: Ashlesha, Moola, Magha, Jyeshtha, Ardra, Bharani, Krittika (for Mundan)

Step 4: Avoid Child's Birth Nakshatra

Step 5: Check for Panchaka & Bhadra

Why Generic Panchang Dates Are Not Enough for Your Child

The dates above are based on the general Hindu Panchang and apply to everyone. However, for 100% accuracy, you need a child-specific calculation because:

❌ A date can be generally auspicious but fall on your child's birth Nakshatra (making it inauspicious)

❌ A date can have a good Tithi but a forbidden Yoga for your child's specific chart

❌ Sunrise timings vary by city (Mumbai vs Delhi vs Bangalore)

📌 Example: May 21, 2026 is the best general date. But if your child was born on May 21 (same Nakshatra), then May 21 becomes strictly forbidden for that child.
