Overview
Upanayana (Janeu) Sanskar for families in Uttarahalli
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.
Uttarahalli lies south west of Banashankari, along the Uttarahalli Main Road and the road towards Kengeri. Subramanyapura, Poornaprajna Layout and Vasanthapura are its neighbours.

Māṅgalyaṁ tantunānena mama jīvanahetunā, kaṇṭhe badhnāmi subhage tvaṁ jīva śaradāṁ śatam.
