Overview

Karnavedha Sanskar for families in Chowk

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.

Chowk is the old commercial heart of Varanasi, a dense network of lanes filled with wholesale markets, silk and sari shops, sweet shops and tall old houses. It lies in the old city between Godowlia and Maidagin, with the lanes towards Kashi Vishwanath close by.

माङ्गल्यं तन्तुनानेन मम जीवनहेतुना।

कण्ठे बध्नामि सुभगे त्वं जीव शरदां शतम्॥

Traditional vivaha mantra

Planning Your Puja in Chowk

Vehicles cannot reach most lanes, so expect to walk and carry samagri by hand.
Shop pujas are usually done early, before the market opens and crowds build.
Diwali and Dhanteras are very busy for business pujas, so book ahead.
Share a clear landmark such as a well-known shop, as lanes can be confusing.
Rooftops in old houses are often the best place for a havan.
Share the child's birth details to choose a suitable day.
Arrange the person who will pierce the ears in advance.
