Overview

Aksharabhyasam (Vidyarambh) for families in Kavuri Hills

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.

Kavuri Hills lies between Madhapur, Jubilee Hills and Guttala Begumpet in west Hyderabad. Once mainly residential, it now combines independent houses and apartments with offices, cafés and start ups.
