Avani Avittam is the most auspicious day for the Brahmin community. On this day, the male members of the Brahmins family change their sacred thread, usually on the banks of the rivers or ponds or in temples. Some people perform this ritual in their homes. Men undertake a Sankalpa or a vow for the sacrament of all the sins in the past. They take a holy dip and wear the new sacred thread called Yajnopavit or the Poonool.
