Overview
Upanayana (Janeu) Sanskar for families in Kedar Ghat
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.
Kedar Ghat is one of the most recognisable ghats in south Varanasi, with its distinctive painted steps and the Kedareshwar Shiva temple above it. The ghat is a popular place for a morning Ganga snan, and it is busy but less hectic than the central ghats.
माङ्गल्यं तन्तुनानेन मम जीवनहेतुना।
कण्ठे बध्नामि सुभगे त्वं जीव शरदां शतम्॥
