Chinmay's Upanayanam (Sacred Threading Ceremony)

(Click on the image to enlarge it)

Upanayanam is a very important Hindu ceremony। It's performed at a tender age when a child is ready to start formal education। The Wikipedia entry is a good information resource on the topic.

Here's the formal invitation ("patrika") in Marathi I prepared for Chinmay's Upanayanam planned on Sat, May 31, here in Austin, TX. I had to post the image here specifically to circumvent the weird eVite.com error. My apologies for the double trouble!

Evite Support Customer 05/19/2008 06:23 AM While trying to create an invitation for this event, I'm using the feature of uploading my own main image. The image I'm trying upload (attached here) is within the assigned limit. My problem is this: The enlarged image looks much smaller than the actual image - only a little larger than the thumbnail. The actual image (.JPG) is 1599x1200 pixels, but when I click on the "Enlarge Image" link on eVite, the image that pops up is only a little bigger than the thumbnail that shows on the main page. How do I make sure, the enlarged, pop-up image is as big as the original I see on my laptop? Please help. - mkp
