Originally, the arrangement of the śikhā was the most significant feature of the Chudakarana and the number of tufts was determined by the number of the [[pravaras]] belonging to the [[gotra]] of the child. Later, in northern [[India]], keeping only one tuft became universal. But in the [[Deccan Plateau|Deccan]] and southern India, earlier traditions remained alive to some extent.<ref>Pandey, Rajbali (1969, reprint 2006) ''Hindu Saṁskāras: Socio-Religious Study of the Hindu Sacraments'', Delhi:Motilal Banarsidass, {{ISBN|81- |

At [[Rishikesh]], on the banks of the [[Ganges]], there is a special ''chudakarana'' or ''mundana'' ''samskara''. In this ceremony, along with cutting and shaving hair, [[Vedas|Vedic]] [[mantra]]s and prayers are chanted by trained priests, [[acharya]]s and [[rishikumara]]s. The child's head is shaven and the hair is then symbolically offered to the [[holy river]]. The child and their family then perform a sacred [[yajna]] ceremony and the [[Ganga Aarti]]. |
