Janeyu

Janeyu, originally uploaded by ~OM~ ॐ छाया चित्रालय.

Janeyu is sacred thread which is worn by Brahmin Men and covers the neck and upper body... It is also called YajnoPavit...

The thread usually has 6 strings, however as per some rituals a Janeyu can have 3 strings as well ( representing second birth).

Still from a recent drive to Kurukshetra. Some Pictures on the Chai ki Dukaan...
