Shravani Upakarma Vidhi

(Yognopavit Dharan / Janoi Change)

Upākarma is conducted once a year during the Dhaniṣṭhā nakṣatra of the Hindu calendar month Śrāvana, when Brahmins ritually change their upanayana (Janoi) thread accompanied by relevant rituals. The sacred thread is held in the hands and the Gayatri mantra is uttered. Then with prayers and spiritual emotion it is adorned. Then the old sacred thread is discarded. This day is also called Śrāvana Pūrnima "Full Moon of Śrāvana”

Evening:  5:30 pm to 7:00 pm
