Overview
Upanayana (Janeu) Sanskar for families in Powai
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.
Powai is built around Powai Lake in the central suburbs, with the IIT Bombay campus on one side and the planned towers of Hiranandani Gardens on the other. Chandivali, Raheja Vihar and the areas along JVLR and Saki Vihar Road have added many more high-rises and office buildings.

कण्ठे बध्नामि सुभगे त्वं जीव शरदां शतम्॥
