Puttu ventrukalu invitation card in Telugu (పుట్టు వెంట్రుకలు)

In Telugu families the first haircut is puttu ventrukalu (birth hair), very often done as a vow at Tirupati, Srisailam or the family's kula daivam temple. Many families search for it as a jadula card or a hair-cutting ceremony card — the wording is the same.

శుభ ఆహ్వానం 🙏
మా చిరంజీవి [పేరు] పుట్టు వెంట్రుకలు తీసే వేడుక [తేదీ]న [సమయం] గంటలకు [వేదిక / ఆలయం]లో జరుగుతుంది.

Shubha aahvanam. Maa chiranjeevi [peru] puttu ventrukalu teese veduka [tedi]na [samayam] gantalaku [vedika / aalayam]lo jarugutundi. Ee shubha sandarbhaniki mimmalni sakutumba saparivaaranga aahvanistunnamu. Mee aasheessule maa biddaku aayuraarogyaalu. Bhojanam: [samayam]. — [tallidandrulu] mariyu [kutumbam].

Need a different opening line or a shorter version? The invitation wording generator drafts one from the child's name, date and venue.

What a mundan invitation card should include

  • The child's name — with chi. (chiranjeevi) in Hindi and Telugu cards, and a pet name in brackets if everyone knows the baby by it.
  • Parents' names, and grandparents' names if they are hosting — the elders' blessing is the point of the day.
  • Date and muhurat — the auspicious time matters more than the hour the meal starts; print both.
  • Venue or temple — Tirupati, Haridwar, Srisailam, the kula devta temple, or the family home. If it is a temple trip, add the gathering point and a contact number.
  • Bhoj / lunch — say clearly that a meal follows, and whether it is at the temple hall or back at home.

Mundan card design: motifs that read right

A kalash with mango leaves and a coconut, a child silhouette or a pair of tiny footprints, marigold garlands, a diya, and for Telugu families a temple gopuram. Keep the palette warm — yellow, saffron, soft peach — and leave the centre of the card for the child's name in large type. Browse the mundan card designs for these motifs ready-made; the same families usually pair them with a naming ceremony card earlier and an annaprashan card for the first solid food.

Mundan sanskar wishes — मुंडन संस्कार की शुभकामनाएं (with English)

  • नन्हे [नाम] के मुंडन संस्कार की हार्दिक शुभकामनाएं। ईश्वर उसे दीर्घायु, स्वस्थ और यशस्वी बनाए। 🙏 — Heartfelt wishes on little [Name]'s mundan sanskar. May God grant him a long, healthy and successful life.
  • मुंडन की ढेरों बधाई! [नाम] पर माँ-बाप का प्यार और बड़ों का आशीर्वाद सदा बना रहे। — Many congratulations on the mundan! May [Name] always have the love of parents and the blessings of elders.

Frequently asked questions

When is the mundan ceremony done, and at what age?
Most families do the mundan in the first or third year of the child's life — many between 7 and 12 months — on a muhurat set by the family priest, at home or at a temple such as Tirupati, Haridwar or the kula devta shrine. Some communities do it in the fifth or seventh year; the invitation wording is the same.
What do you write on a mundan invitation card?
The child's name (with "chi."), the parents' and grandparents' names, the date and muhurat time, the venue or temple, and a line about the bhoj that follows. Close by seeking blessings. Copy the Hindi, English, Gujarati, Marathi or Telugu wording above and replace the bracketed details.
Is mundan the same as chudakarana, jawal, babri and puttu ventrukalu?
Yes — one samskara, the child's first haircut, by different names: chudakarana or chaul in the shastras, mundan in Hindi, jawal in Marathi, babri in Gujarati, and puttu ventrukalu (also searched as jadula) in Telugu homes. English cards call it the hair-cutting or tonsure ceremony.
