Overview

Aksharabhyasam (Vidyarambh) for families in Basavanagudi

Aksharabhyasam, known in the North as Vidyarambh Sanskar, is the ceremony that marks the beginning of a child’s education. The child is seated on a parent’s lap and, guided by the Pandit, writes their first letters, often Om and the first letters of the alphabet, on a slate or in a plate of rice.

Basavanagudi takes its name from the Dodda Basavana Gudi, the Bull Temple on Bugle Rock with its large monolithic Nandi, and the Dodda Ganapathi temple beside it. Laid out as one of Bangalore's early planned extensions, it is known for Gandhi Bazaar, DVG Road and its old houses and bookshops.

माङ्गल्यं तन्तुनानेन मम जीवनहेतुना।

कण्ठे बध्नामि सुभगे त्वं जीव शरदां शतम्॥

Traditional vivaha mantra

Planning Your Puja in Basavanagudi

Gandhi Bazaar and DVG Road are crowded in the evenings and before festivals; early mornings are calmer.
Flowers, banana leaves and samagri are easy to find in Gandhi Bazaar.
During Kadalekai Parishe, Bull Temple Road is very busy; avoid scheduling during peak fair hours if you can.
Many homes here are older independent houses with courtyards suitable for a homa.
Share the child's birth details if you want a date other than Vijayadashami.
Keep a plate of raw rice, a slate or notebook, and a new pen or chalk ready.
