Overview
Upanayana (Janeu) Sanskar for families in Malkajgiri
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.
Malkajgiri lies to the north-east of Secunderabad and is one of the older residential areas on the Secunderabad side of the Twin Cities. Its many colonies are made up of independent houses and apartment buildings, with busy local markets and a railway connection.

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