Those wearing the sacred thread, should perform their duty to chant the Gayathri mantra at least 144 times in the morning, noon and evening. The importance of the Gayathri mantra may be summed in on.e fact that it came from the vedas. On the day of Gayathri japam, one has to repleat the Gayathri mantra a thousand times. It is mandatory after upanayanam that one performs sandhyavandhanam and gayathri japam every day followed by veda parayanam.

On the next day of the poonal function, Gayatri japam is an important activity. But, it is not just that, they should also start chanting the vedas along with it, like Kamorkarshith japam. On the day of the Avani Avittam, the menfolk change their sacred cord worn on their shoulders. When this happens, the Avani Avittam function is conducted on the Adi month itself, on the Pournami day. Sometimes, the Avani month will have two amavasai days. But, since Rg veda is predominant veda, it is generally called Avani Avittam. Similarly, for Sama veda, it is Avani Hastham. Those following Yajur veda will perform Avani Avittam or Upakarma on Thiruvonam month Thiruvonam nakshatra, if the day is without dosham. The wearing of the sacred thread is in two parts, one the rituals and discipline that go along with the daily rituals to elevate oneself to the higher selves.

According to tradition, those born as brahmin should have had the upanayanam ceremony by the time he is eight years old.
