Overview

Karnavedha Sanskar for families in Assi Ghat

Karnavedha Sanskar is the ceremony in which a child’s ears are pierced for the first time. It is one of the sixteen Hindu sanskars and is still widely observed, especially in South Indian families, where it is often held together with Mundan or at a family temple.

Assi Ghat sits at the southern end of Varanasi's main stretch of ghats, near where the Assi stream traditionally meets the Ganga. It is more open and relaxed than the ghats further north, and its wide steps make it a popular starting point for a morning on the river.

माङ्गल्यं तन्तुनानेन मम जीवनहेतुना।

कण्ठे बध्नामि सुभगे त्वं जीव शरदां शतम्॥

Planning Your Puja in Assi Ghat

Mornings are the calmest time; aim to arrive around sunrise if your ritual includes the Ganga.
Assi is reachable by road, which makes it easier for elderly family members than ghats deep in the old city.
Boats can be hired at the ghat for travelling along the river to other ghats.
Crowds increase significantly around Dev Deepawali, Sawan and major snan days, so book accommodation and Pandits early.
Check with your guest house before planning a havan indoors or on the terrace.
Share the child's birth details to choose a suitable day.
Arrange the person who will pierce the ears in advance.
