Giri Yajnopavita Set | Janau/ Sacred Thread/ Poita/ White Thread/ Poonal for Pooja

• Yajnopavita, or poonal, is a sacred thread that Brahmin men wear across their bodies. 
• Traditionally, during the Upanayanam ceremony, Brahmin boys begin wearing the poonul, or sacred thread. Between the ages of 7 and 15, this rite of passage usually takes place, symbolizing their official introduction into the study of the Vedas and spiritual responsibilities. The poonul represents duty and spiritual development. 
• This thread is made from pure cotton, so it is harmless to the skin. Brahmins wearing the poonal thread do poojas by chanting mantras. Some rules are followed when you wear the poonal thread to show respect for it. This set contains four pieces of sacred thread.
