Upanayana ceremony rituals in Hinduism.

Recently in March 2020 month, we performed the Munj
of my 10 year old son. During the actual Muhurtam time ritual (which was at 9:52 am), my wife was not allowed to view this ceremony according to the Hindu ritual.

Is this a traditional practice in Munj ceremony? Why can't a mother see this specific ritual? What are the reasons for the same?

My personal opinion :

Mother should be allowed to view this ritual in "Munj" ceremony.

Thanks & Regards,

Thanks.

No, only a specific ritual in the Upanayana ceremony which occurs at the Muhurtam time.
The Muhurtam time is similar to the marriage time where the fathet garlands the son and the son garlands his father.

What does "fathet garlands" mean"

Thanks.

Sorry typo mistake.

Its "Father" & not "Fathet".

Note : Only the Garland ritual in the entire Upanayana ceremony.

Sorry, still a little confused. What is "Garland"? Is that a word, name, city?

Didn't know that was a word, so I definitely learned something new today -- thanks!

I have no idea why the mother would be prohibited from viewing the ritual, unless there's some secret being held from her. Could be a superstition from a long time ago? Not entirely certain
