Keshanta
Keshanta ((サンスクリット:केशान्त), ) (literally, cutting the hair) is the thirteenth of the sixteen saṃskāras (sacraments) practiced by the Hindus. This ''saṃskāra'' is connected with the first shaving of a student's beard when his age is about 16 years. The procedure of this ''saṃskāra'' is almost the same as that of the Chudakarana. This ''saṃskāra'' was also known as the ''Godana'' (giving a cow) or the ''Godanakarman'' (rite of giving a cow), as the student offered a cow to the teacher at the end of the ceremony.〔Pandey, R.B. (1962, reprint 2003). ''The Hindu Sacraments (Saṁskāra)'' in S. Radhakrishnan (ed.) ''The Cultural Heritage of India'', Vol.II, Kolkata:The Ramakrishna Mission Institute of Culture, ISBN 81-85843-03-1, pp.390-413〕 According to the Manusmriti (II.65), this ''saṃskāra'' should be performed for a Brahmin in the sixteenth year (from conception), for a Kshatriya in the twenty-second year and for a Vaisya in the twenty-fourth year. ==Notes==
