Upanayana is one of the traditional samskara (rites of passage) that marks the acceptance of a student by a guru (teacher) and an individual's entrance to a school in Hinduism. Upanayana is the rite
of passage for the start of formal education of writing, numbers, reading, Vedangas, arts and other skills. The Upanayana rite of passage was also important to the teacher, as the student would there from begin to live in the gurukul
(school). Upanayana was an elaborate ceremony, that included rituals involving the family, the child and the teacher. A boy receives during this ceremony a sacred thread called Yajnopaveetam that he wears. The Yajnopavita ceremony announced
that the child had entered into formal education. In the modern era, the Upanayana rite of passage is open to anyone at any age.
