Basically the process of 'Sanskar' has three components, namely:

Purification (Doshapanayan) - To purify a person physically, mentally and spiritually and to eradicate/ weed out the negative mental thoughts and tendencies (Dosh), which may exist in a person at the time of his birth and/or which he may have acquired from his family and surrounding environment.

Making up Deficiency (Heenangpoorti) - To makeup the deficiency of human values which he lacks.

Value Enrichment (Gunaadhaan) - To inculcate qualities and transform him into an ideal, compassionate, responsible, dutiful and outstanding person who follows his duties diligently towards himself, his family, the society and the universe.

Example:
We know about diamonds, which reach us after undergoing many processes. A raw diamond stone when extracted from mines looks like an ordinary stone. In the first place dust and other foreign materials are removed by cleaning. Then the process of refinement, cutting, polishing etc. is carried out to transform it into a finished diamond. Then only that diamond is made into an ornament so that it becomes more beautiful, useful and valuable. The process of transforming the raw diamond stone into a finished diamond is the 'Sanskar' of raw diamond. The act of cleaning, removing dust and other foreign material is purification, the act of refinement, cutting, finishing, polishing is 'making up the deficiency' and the act of making it into an ornament is 'value enrichment'.
