Hi all

I have twin boys of age 9. Planning on doing upanayanam ceremony next March 2024. My boys are very close to their athai and athimber( my husband's sister and brother in law). We would like them to do the ceremony for one of our boys. The gotram differs but is it okay.

Thanks
Soumya

eaka garbha prasuthow chaeth aeka vaethii avabya cha aekaachaaryaicha lagnae cha kuryan mounchi vratham yatha: As per this rule for twins upanayanam must be done on the same day on the same place same acharya dhampathi on the same one homa kundam . so you have to do for both. for twins our sastras permits only one acharya dhampathy for initiation.

Hello Sowmya,

I am Padma, mother of twin boys who are currently 6 years. We are Telugu Brahmins.I stumbled upon your post when I was searching for Upanayanam of twins. Many of my relatives and priests were suggesting that Upanayanam of both boys must be done one after the other but not at the same time. I am a bit perplexed and would like to check if you had gone ahead with your twins Upanayanam on the same day? Is it ok to do on the same day? Your insights will be of great help.

Thank you,
Padma
