What decides the cost of a Mundan
Mundan is short and its puja samagri is minimal, so the quote is mostly the pandit's time and travel. The barber is arranged by the family and is not part of it. Kept at a temple rather than at home it may carry a temple charge, and that is the line that varies most between cities.
What is different in Nalanda
The district is small towns and villages around Bihar Sharif, so distances between an address and the nearest available pandit are longer than in a city and the travel band shows it. Anything beyond the common samagri list comes from Bihar Sharif or from Patna.
