Overview
Upanayana (Janeu) Sanskar for families in Andheri
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.
Andheri is one of the largest and busiest suburbs of Mumbai, split by the Western Railway line into Andheri West, with Lokhandwala, Four Bungalows, Versova and Oshiwara, and Andheri East, with its commercial areas around MIDC, Marol, Chakala and the airport side. Metro Line 1 runs from Versova across Andheri to Ghatkopar, linking the western and central suburbs.
