Overview
Upanayana (Janeu) Sanskar for families in Wakad
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.
Wakad sits on the western side of the Pimpri Chinchwad area, just across the highway from Hinjewadi. Over the last two decades it has filled with mid-rise and high-rise apartment societies, and roads such as Datta Mandir Road and the Wakad Hinjewadi road are lined with shops and schools.
माङ्गल्यं तन्तुनानेन मम जीवनहेतुना।
कण्ठे बध्नामि सुभगे त्वं जीव शरदां शतम्॥
