Overview
Upanayana (Janeu) Sanskar for families in Vanasthalipuram
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.
Vanasthalipuram lies just beyond LB Nagar along the Vijayawada highway in east Hyderabad. It is a large and settled residential area, with planned colonies, independent houses and apartment buildings, and a calmer feel than the busy junctions nearby.
माङ्गल्यं तन्तुनानेन मम जीवनहेतुना।
कण्ठे बध्नामि सुभगे त्वं जीव शरदां शतम्॥
Māṅgalyaṁ tantunānena mama jīvanahetunā, kaṇṭhe badhnāmi subhage tvaṁ jīva śaradāṁ śatam.
