  • Upākarma ("Beginning", Sanskrit: उपाकर्म), also called Āvaṇi Aviṭṭam (Tamil: ஆவணி அவிட்டம்), Āvaṇi Aviṭṭam (Malayalam: ആവണി അവിട്ടം), Janivārada Huṇṇime (Kannada: ಜನಿವಾರದ ಹುಣ್ಣಿಮೆ), Gahmā Pūrṇimā (Odia: ଗହ୍ମା ପୂର୍ଣିମା), and Jaṁdhyāla Paurṇami (Telugu: జంధ్యాల పౌర్ణమి) is a Vedic ritual practiced by Hindus of the Brahmin caste. During the ritual, men change a sacred thread and put on a new one. Upākarma is conducted once a year during the shravana or Dhaniṣṭhā nakṣatra of the Hindu month of Śrāvana, when Brahmins change their upanayana thread with Vedic rituals, making offerings to the rishis who composed the Vedic hymns. The day, also called Śrāvana Pūrnima ("Full Moon of Śrāvana") in other parts of India, usually occurs the day after the Śravana nakshatra which marks Kerala's Onam festival. On the following day, usually coinciding with the Raksha Bandhan festival in North and Central India, the Gayatri Mantra is recited 1,008 times. Samaveda Brahmins perform upakarma and change their thread on the third day of the month of Bhadra. Yajurveda Brahmins in North India and Odisha perform upakarma on the first day if the full moon spans two days. (en)
