Overview

Upanayana (Janeu) Sanskar for families in Babatpur

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.

Babatpur, on the north-western outskirts of Varanasi, is best known as the location of the city's airport, Lal Bahadur Shastri International Airport. The area has villages, farmland, highway-side hotels and newer houses along the road into the city.

माङ्गल्यं तन्तुनानेन मम जीवनहेतुना।

कण्ठे बध्नामि सुभगे त्वं जीव शरदां शतम्॥

Traditional vivaha mantra
