Overview
Karnavedha Sanskar for families in Rathyatra
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.
Rathyatra is one of the best-known crossings in central Varanasi, linking Sigra, Mahmoorganj and the roads towards the south of the city. Its name comes from the traditional Rath Yatra fair of Lord Jagannath held in the area each year.
माङ्गल्यं तन्तुनानेन मम जीवनहेतुना।
कण्ठे बध्नामि सुभगे त्वं जीव शरदां शतम्॥
