Ear Piercing: The Karnavedha Sanskara
You are already worried about the little one's comfort. At least the day can be settled.
Every parent winces at the thought of the needle. You want the child protected and healthy, and you hope for little pain and quick healing. It is also a tradition the family wants to keep.
The classical texts on muhurta shastra set this rite on a good day, in daylight. Picking the day by those rules is one worry you can put down. We read them for the city where the piercing happens.
What you get
Auspicious windows for the ear piercing in daylight, for your city. The top 3 most auspicious ones highlighted. The days to avoid tagged along with the reasons. And, the classical text reference behind each recommendation.
What we need
The child's birth date, time and place, and your city.
Karnavedha is the piercing of the child's ears, one of the sixteen sanskars. Tradition places it in the sixth or seventh month, or later in an odd year. The muhurat picks a good day and a daylight hour for it.
Testimonials
Karnavedha in a Madurai family is not optional. The goldsmith wants his date six weeks ahead in writing because he makes the studs to order. I gave him one off the report with the hour on it and nobody in this house had to be asked twice.
