Among all Shodasha Samskaras or 16-ceremonies, Karnavedha or Ear piercing is another Hindu ceremony that advocates immense health benefits to a person. Not only in India but in other countries, ear piercing is a cultural observance and mandatory practice. 

In Sanskrit, “Karna” means “Ear,” and “Vedha” means “piercing.” It is a common practice between males and females in every civilization. In Hinduism, this practice aims to open the inner ears of the child to receive sacred sounds.
