Overview
Upanayana (Janeu) Sanskar for families in Shivpur
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.
Shivpur is on the western side of Varanasi, beyond the busier central areas. Once more semi-rural, it has grown into a residential area with new colonies, independent houses, apartment buildings, schools and markets.
माङ्गल्यं तन्तुनानेन मम जीवनहेतुना।
कण्ठे बध्नामि सुभगे त्वं जीव शरदां शतम्॥
