Overview
Upanayana (Janeu) Sanskar for families in Kothrud
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.
Kothrud is one of the biggest residential suburbs of Pune, spread along Karve Road and Paud Road on the western side of the city. It grew through the 1980s and 1990s into a dense area of cooperative housing societies, row houses and independent homes, and newer apartment towers now rise towards Chandani Chowk and the hills beyond.
