During the ritual, men change a sacred thread and put on a new one.

Upākarma is conducted once a year during the shravana or Dhaniṣṭhā nakṣatra of the Hindu month of Śrāvana, when Brahmins change their upanayana thread with Vedic rituals, making offerings to the rishis who composed the Vedic hymns. The day, also called Śrāvana Pūrnima ("Full Moon of Śrāvana") in other parts of India, usually occurs the day after the Śravana nakshatra which marks Kerala's Onam festival.
