What is Aksharabhyasam (Vidyarambh)?
The ceremony in which a child writes their first letters, guided by a Pandit with prayers to Goddess Saraswati and Lord Ganesha for a good start to learning.
Many Kannada families take the child to Sringeri or to Kollur Mookambika for Aksharabhyasa, while others hold it at home in Bangalore before the child starts school.
माङ्गल्यं तन्तुनानेन मम जीवनहेतुना।
कण्ठे बध्नामि सुभगे त्वं जीव शरदां शतम्॥
Māṅgalyaṁ tantunānena mama jīvanahetunā, kaṇṭhe badhnāmi subhage tvaṁ jīva śaradāṁ śatam.
Why Families Choose Bangalore for Aksharabhyasam (Vidyarambh)
Bangalore families often time the ceremony just before a child starts pre school or school, usually between the ages of two and five. For those who cannot travel to Sringeri or Kollur during the Navaratri rush, a home Aksharabhyasa with a Pandit keeps the rite personal and unhurried.
Telugu families know it as Aksharabhyasam and Malayali families as Vidyarambham, while North Indian families call it Vidyarambh Sanskar. The Pandit can follow the letters and customs of your family's language.
