Knighting Ceremony

"Step forward, Padawan. Anakin Skywalker, by the right of the Council, by the will of the Force, dub thee I do, Jedi Knight of the Republic."
Yoda, during Anakin Skywalker's knighting ceremony

The Hall of Knighthood was a chamber located towards the pinnacle of the Temple Spire in the Jedi Temple.

In the Hall of Knighthood, Padawans were formally raised to the level of Jedi Knight in a ceremony of deeply religious significance. The circular chamber was reminiscent of the Jedi High Council chamber, though the room was darkened during the ceremony. Twelve senior Jedi would ignite their lightsabers, while one proclaimed the ascension of the apprentice, and (if the Padawan was of a hair-growing species) severed their Padawan braid to symbolize the transition. This chamber was also where the status of Jedi Master was formally confirmed. Not all Jedi were elevated to Knight status in this room; some, such as Obi-Wan Kenobi, were simply told that they had passed the trials and were Jedi Knights. This is likely due to uncontrollable circumstances that prohibited formal ceremony (in Kenobi's case, due to the battle with Darth Maul on Naboo and his master's death).
