    Overview

    Upanayana (Janeu) Sanskar for families in Hastinapuram

    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.

    Hastinapuram lies in south east Hyderabad between Vanasthalipuram, Karmanghat and Champapet. It is a residential area of colonies, independent houses and small apartment buildings, built up steadily over the last few decades.

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

    With this holy thread, the cause of my life, I tie the mangalya around your neck, O auspicious one. May you live for a hundred autumns.Traditional vivaha mantra
