Keshant Puja is a sacred Hindu ceremony performed when a young Brahmachari (student) shaves his facial hair for the first time, typically around the age of 16. This ritual signifies the boy’s physical and spiritual maturity and his continued commitment to Brahmacharya (celibate student life). It is often performed under the guidance of a guru and accompanied by Vedic chants, offerings, and blessings.
