Answer» Correct Answer - Option 3 : Sacred thread ceremony of the child

The correct answer is ​the Sacred thread ceremony of the child.

  • The discussion of Upanayana rites is found in Vedic literature.

  • It is also called 'Yajnopaveet'.
  • In this Upanayana ceremony, the child wears a holy thread.
  • The first discussion of the Upanayana ceremony is found in 'Shatapatha Brahman'.
  • Earlier it was a simple process, in which it was considered mandatory for entry into the Gurukula, but the Upanayana rite is interpreted as a complex ritual in the 'Grihasutra', which became subject to the Varna system in Smriti literature and substituted as bicameral rites.
