Overview
Upanayana (Janeu) Sanskar for families in Himayatnagar
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.
Himayatnagar is one of central Hyderabad's best-known neighbourhoods, close to Narayanguda, Basheerbagh and Liberty. Its main road is famous for shopping, especially for sarees, jewellery and festival purchases, and it is also a well-known landmark area for the TTD Venkateswara temple.

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