At a young age, brahmin boys are initiated as Brahmhacharis through a ceremony known as Upanayanam, where they are first given the yagnopavita/poonal. This begins their journey of learning and practicing the vedas, and acquiring wisdom and knowledge. After this ceremony, the sacred thread is changed every year in the Upakarma or Avani Avittam ritual, or in some traditions, every month. This product details the procedure for performing Upakarma (Avani Avittam), according to the Yajur Veda.
