Born in a large family with sisters, brothers, sister in law , brother in law and parents ,athais, periyappas, uncles, etc it used to be a happy family yearly function with the mean wearing poonal replacing the old poonal with new ones. Boys who have not had upanayanam and not having poonal go from house to house carrying a stick or thadi or vadi with a koupithanam or kovanam a piece of cotton cloth attached to the end . In each house the group of young boys wearing veshti and having vibhoothi on forehead assemble and utter as below in chorus the following lines
Avani avittam kovanam,
Ambi poranthal Shobhanam
Akka porantha Ukkarai,
Ammaan porantha Ayiram panam,
Patti porantha Bakshanam
Patta porantha Pazhukka Vadi”
Note,,,,,
Samidhadhanam one compulsory ritual meant for those having thalaior thale avani avittam which means first avani avittam after the upanayanam, marriage, ,etc when yagnam, homam, etc are made, The parents of Brahmacharis or others bring from home neyyappam and othr neivedyams to be offered to God and later distributed to all participants.
Again it is considered to be a good day to start learning Veda Aarambam means beginning and mantras uttered to recite Vedas , mantras etc in the process of learning by all.
There are four vedas..Rig, yajur, sama and Adharva.
Some important words or pronunciations of these vedas are uttered starting study of vedas on this auspicious day
The Brahmin households used to listen to the song, gift each boy with a coin anna or naya paisa or pence or quarter (USA) and provide silk or cotton kovanam to be worn by the male children ,This work the children finish by 8 AM and then take idli with chutney etc as breakfast.Children keep the coins as their savings and buy some gifts etc or go to some cinema etc
Meanwhile parents would have taken bath,at home ,,the men do the following rituals wearing pachagacham and women wearing Madisar pudavai .
Sandhyavandhanam after achamanam, sankalpam , Gayathri japom, etc ,etc
Then they utter Kamokakshi Japam
They have to say the japam 1008 times and get ready to go to the temple nearing a river or pond to perform other functions.
We belong to Yaurveda ..
Some details for this year 2020
Year sharvari
Month karkataka
Utharyanam
Nakshtram thiruvonam or uthirattadhi depending on time
These are the various activities meant for men
We children used to go to the Vishweswaram siva temple adjacent to Vadakke chirai water tank or kulam in Trichur along with Appa, annas, etc for Avani Avittam .
Those who know swimming jump from the surrounding walls of the pond or tank and take bath before starting Brahmayagnam ,We children stand nearby and see all these
Then inside the temple in the verandas the vadhyars would have arranged places for homam, pooja etc along with flowers, and leave for poojas.
Mainly poonal, pavithram and dharbai are required for the whole functions along with panchpathram, udharini, warter, rice, ellu and a towel to wsah hands along with betel leaves and paakku and plantains for offering to pooja.

After changing poonal we have to do kandarshi tharpanam using water ellu, rice and water,,
With that Avani avittam is over for the day and we return home for heavy meals consisting Appam, vadai, Uppittu, rice, aviyal, pappadam etc
Gayathri Japam 1008 times next day we have to chant or utter next day
Girls under age of say ten also accompany us to the temple for Avani avittam wearing pattu or silk pavadai etc and enjoy the mantras as well as neivedyam etc . Women are at home making all arrangements like providing veshti, vibhoothi materials,.etc to husband and taking bath and wearing madisaru pudavai and chanting daaily slokas..d
When we return home after Avani avittam two women sing a song for dhrishti or. Called Aarathi song or something inviting the great person inside house with. all good future and then only allow us inside house.
The plate with aarathi water is thrown out by two women after taking out and sharing the coins
It is requested youngsters also participate and do Avani avittam every year, It is just like a retreat or our doing pooja for all wring things done by during the yar and promising with mantras to follow the path meant for a Brhamin
Bachelors are also requeted to wear poonal and it is treated as a licence for getting married and othr men also wear poonal which gives you some inherent strength and power,
Women among Brahmins donot wear poonal
