Janeu Sanskar, also known as Upanayana Sanskar and Yajnopaveet Sanskar, is an old tradition of Hindus that have been taking place since the Vedic period. It is believed that one can get the right to perform the yajna and self-study only after Janeu Dharana.

Hindus are made to wear a sacred thread during this ceremony. The thread is put around the neck in such a way that it stays above the left shoulder and below the right arm. The three sutras are believed to be symbols of Trimurti i.e, Brahma, Vishnu, and Mahesh – symbols of Devaruna, Pitruruna, and Rishiruna – symbols of Sattva, Raz, and Tama.
