Description:
Sound recorded at Hindu temple in Chennai city,India.In Hinduism and Buddhism, a Sacred Thread is a thin consecrated cord, composed of distinct cotton strands, worn to symbolize coming of age. The sacred thread is known by many names (varying by region and community), such as Janeu, Lagun, Yajnopavita, Yagyopavit, Yonya and Zunnar.
The sacred thread ceremony (Sanskrit: उपनयनम्, upanayanam) that invests the wearer with the sacred thread is often considered a socially and spiritually significant rite (or samskara). It has varying formats across Hindu-Buddhist communities and is also called by varying names, including Upanayana, Munj, Janeu rasm and Bratabandha. Among Hindus, the ceremony was once associated with the three higher castes, but is now administered to all adolescent males without consideration of caste by several denominations.Though far less common, it is also sometimes conducted for girls. In some regions of modern North India, the ceremony is often conducted as an immediate precursor to wedding ceremonies, instead of during adolescence, while in other regions it is almost always associated with adolescence.Among Buddhists, the ceremony can be conducted at all ages and for both genders.
