Munj, Vrat-bandhan, Upanayana

Upnayan sanskar is also known as Munj or threading ceremony is one of the traditional ceremonies which are performed when a student has to leave his parents house and enter gurukul to take teaching lessons from the guru.

Batoo

In historic days the students use to go to gurukul at the age of 8 years and this ceremony was
performed which indicated the start of formal education and other skills. The munj ceremony is performed
from the age of 8 years to 11 years of age commonly. The student then uses to stay in the gurukul for many
years. During the ceremony the boy receives a holy thread which symbolizes three trinities of goddess –
saraswati, lakshmi and parvati. As per Hindu religion a human is born twice, once through his mother’s womb and the other is the intellectual birth. The boy has to shave his head during the Upnayan sanskar or Munj and hence the boy is known as “batoo.” An auspicious day and time is decided to perform this ceremony.
