With Parihara: September 3, 1921
Perform the Yajnopavita Dharana (thread replacement) on this day regardless, reciting the standard mantra and discarding the old thread; this keeps daily duties like Sandhyavandanam valid even when the full Upakarma cannot be performed at an auspicious time.
Observe a fast (Upavasa) or Prajapatya Krichchhra as Parihara for the missed rite, per Nirnayasindhu.
Bathe in a river or sacred water body and offer simple Rishi Tarpana; this is said to purify the remaining defect.

About
Upakarma
Upakarma is the annual renewal of the sacred thread (yajnopavita) and the resumption of Vedic study. Each Veda observes it on its own day: Rigveda Upakarma, Yajur Upakarma (Shravani Upakarma, Aavani Avittam) and Samaveda Upakarma.
The dates above are for your city and year, for those repeating the observance and for those performing it for the first time. Each Veda's full page has the complete table.
Where the views of different sampradayas differ, please follow the convention observed by your own family or sampradaya.
