# '''यज्ञोपवीतधारणम्॥ Yajnopavitadharana''' - [[Yajnopavita (यज्ञोपवीतम्)|Yajnopavita]] is the sacred cord invested to the pupil. It has a lot of significance in the rites in recent times. Raising the boy's right arm, putting the head into he suspends the cord over his right shoulder in such a way that it hangs down on his right side. Thus he becomes Yajñopavītin (one who has got the Yajñopavīta). This is one of the rites in the whole Upanayana samskara but in recent years has gained importance and the samskara itself gained the name as Yajnopavita samskara.
