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

Yajnopavita Smarta, or poonal, is a sacred thread that Brahmin men wear across their bodies. After performing certain rituals, they begin wearing it at a young age. 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.
