Upanayana (Sanskrit: उपनयन upanayana), also known as janai or janea, poita/paita, Yagnopavita, Bratabandha,Bratopanayan is one of the traditional saṃskāras (rites of passage) that marked the acceptance of a student by a guru (teacher or tutor) and an individual's initiation into a school in Hinduism. The tradition is widely discussed in ancient Sanskrit texts of Hinduism and varies regionally.[2] The sacred thread (yagnyopavita, janeu, or poonal) is received by the boy during this ceremony, which he continues wearing from the left shoulder to the right crossing the chest thereafter. Generally, this ceremony should be performed before the advent of adulthood.
