The Samavartana ((サンスクリット:समावर्तन), ), also known as , is a rite of passage in the ancient texts of Hinduism performed at the close of the Brahmacharya period and marked the graduation of the student from ''Gurukul'' (school).〔For definition of , and alternate term , see: .〕 It signifies a person's readiness to enter grihastashrama (householder, married life).
==Description==
''Samavartana'' or ''Snana'', is the ceremony associated with the end of formal education and the Brahmacharya asrama of life. This rite of passage includes a ceremonial bath.〔PV Kane, (Samskara, Chapter VII ), History of Dharmasastras, Vol II, Part I, Bhandarkar Oriental Research Institute, pages 405-408〕 This ceremony marked the end of school, but did not imply immediate start of married life. Typically, significant time elapsed between exiting the Brahmacharya stage of life and the entering of Grihastha stage of life.〔PV Kane, (Samskara, Chapter VII ), History of Dharmasastras, Vol II, Part I, Bhandarkar Oriental Research Institute, page 408〕
Anyone who had complete this rite of passage was considered a ''Vidya-snataka'' (literally, bathed in knowledge, or showered with learning), and symbolized as one who had crossed the ocean of learning.〔Kathy Jackson (2005), Rituals and Patterns in Children's Lives, University of Wisconsin Press, ISBN 978-0299208301, page 52〕
