Overview
Upanayana (Janeu) Sanskar for families in Sanath 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.
Sanath Nagar is one of Hyderabad's older working neighbourhoods, grown around factories, the railway line and the colonies built for their staff. Its streets are laid out in blocks of independent houses and modest apartment buildings, many of them held by the same family for two or three generations.
माङ्गल्यं तन्तुनानेन मम जीवनहेतुना।
कण्ठे बध्नामि सुभगे त्वं जीव शरदां शतम्॥
Māṅgalyaṁ tantunānena mama jīvanahetunā, kaṇṭhe badhnāmi subhage tvaṁ jīva śaradāṁ śatam.
