Hinduism is one of the oldest religions in the world with different rituals and traditions. In Sanatan Dharam, there is great significance of in the 16 Sanskar. In the life span of a person, one has to perform these 16 rituals. 'Upanayan' Sanskar is very important. The ritual is usually performed for children below the age of 10 years.  It is also known as Yagyopaveetra Sankar. Under this ritual a child has to wear Janeu  (three sacred threads made of yarn).  A person who wears Janeu has to follow many rules. Have a look at some of these rules.

 If the sacred thread becomes impure by mistake, then it has to be removed immediately and another new sacred thread should be worn.

It is also said that once the ceremony is done, the sacred thread has to be worn for life and every Sanatani Hindu should wear it.

It is said that Yajnopaveet should always be worn on the right waist from the left shoulder.

It should be put on the right ear at the time of excreta-urine immersion and should be taken down from the ear only after cleaning the hands. Yagyopaveet should become higher than the waist and should not become unholy

There is a tradition of changing the Yajnopaveet after the thread is applied during the birth or death of someone in the house.

Some people tie keys etc. in the Janeu, However, in order to maintain the sanctity and dignity of Yagyopaveet, it should never be done even by mistake.

Significance of Janeu

It is said that the three threads of Janeu are considered to be the symbol of Devrun, Pitrurun, and Rishirun. Along with this, it is also considered a symbol of Sattva, Raja, and Tama and three ashrams. For a married person or for a household, there are six threads. Out of these six threads, three threads are considered for himself and three threads for the wife. On the other hand, in Hinduism, it is necessary to wear Janeu before doing any religious or auspicious work, etc. The marriage ceremony of any Hindu person does not take place without Janeu.
