Giri Yajnopavita | Janeu/ Srivaishnava Sacred Thread/ White Colour Poonal for Pooja
Yajnopavita, 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. This set contains four pieces of sacred thread. To enhance the richness of Hindu tradition, Giri is exclusively merchandising silver poonul.
