Overview
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.
Erragadda sits on the north-west corridor of Hyderabad, with a metro station on the main road and the ESI and Chest Hospital campuses close by. Older housing colonies, market streets and a steady flow of hospital visitors give the area its everyday rhythm.
