Overview
Upanayana (Janeu) Sanskar for families in JP Nagar
Upanayana, widely known as Janeu Sanskar, is the ceremony in which a child receives the holy thread (yagnopavit) and is initiated into the Gayatri Mantra. Traditionally it marked the beginning of formal Vedic study under a guru, and it remains an important sanskar in many Hindu families.
JP Nagar, named after Jayaprakash Narayan, stretches south of Jayanagar in numbered phases towards Bannerghatta Road and Puttenahalli. It is a mix of independent houses, apartment complexes and busy commercial roads such as 24th Main and 15th Cross.
माङ्गल्यं तन्तुनानेन मम जीवनहेतुना।
कण्ठे बध्नामि सुभगे त्वं जीव शरदां शतम्॥
Māṅgalyaṁ tantunānena mama jīvanahetunā, kaṇṭhe badhnāmi subhage tvaṁ jīva śaradāṁ śatam.
