Upanayana (Janeu) Sanskar in Banda: Local Traditions
Banda sits on the Ken river in Bundelkhand, with the Bamdev Mandir on its hill and the Neelkanth Mandir inside Kalinjar Fort a short drive away. Chitrakoot, where families go for parikrama of Kamadgiri, is close enough that many households tie a family puja to a visit there.
Families in Banda keep a strong Bundelkhandi tradition of katha and havan. Satyanarayan Katha on Purnima, Rudrabhishek in Sawan and Bhagwat Katha for the whole mohalla are steady work, alongside weddings, Mundan and Shraddha.
