Significance of Janoi

During the ceremony, the child is invested with the sacred thread “Janoi” or

“Yagñopaveetam” which

symbolizes the boy’s spiritual commitment and marks his entry into the second stage of life, called

“Brahmacharya”

He will start learning the Vedas, rituals, and spiritual disciplines, which is the main purpose of Upanayana.
