    Category: Sixteen rites of passage
    Ceremony associated with the end of formal education and the brahmacharya asrama of life. In ancient times this rite marked the end of schooling usually at the age of 16 or after but did not imply immediate start of married life. Significant time elapsed between exiting the brahmacharya stage of life and the entering of grihastha stage of life. Samaavartana is the fifteenth samskara that ends the ‘bhramacharya' and the pupil is free from all his pledge undertaken during upanayana. The youth starts on a study tour like pilgrimage to kashi. The brothers of girls kept a look out for such graduate boys for alliances. This is done as a prelude to marriage in recent times.
