Overview
Upanayana (Janeu) Sanskar for families in Aundh
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.
Aundh is a mature residential neighbourhood in north west Pune, close to Savitribai Phule Pune University and bordered by Baner and Pashan. Its tree lined roads, including ITI Road and DP Road, have a mix of older bungalows, cooperative societies and upscale apartment buildings.
