About the rite
In Trinidad, a boy of about twelve can receive the sacred thread during Janeo, a three-day ceremony. Receiving the thread marks his entry into brahmacharya, a stage of religious study and discipline. Whether and how the ceremony is held depends on the traditions of the family and community.
