Overview

Aksharabhyasam (Vidyarambh) for families in LB Nagar

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.

LB Nagar is one of the main hubs of south-east Hyderabad, located on the Vijayawada highway near Dilsukhnagar and Vanasthalipuram. Its busy junction, metro connection and commercial areas make it a gateway to the eastern side of the city.

माङ्गल्यं तन्तुनानेन मम जीवनहेतुना।
कण्ठे बध्नामि सुभगे त्वं जीव शरदां शतम्॥

Māṅgalyaṁ tantunānena mama jīvanahetunā, kaṇṭhe badhnāmi subhage tvaṁ jīva śaradāṁ śatam.

With this holy thread, the cause of my life, I tie the mangalya around your neck, O auspicious one. May you live for a hundred autumns.Traditional vivaha mantra

Planning your puja in LB Nagar

The LB Nagar junction and Vijayawada highway are busy at peak times, early-morning muhurthams are easier.

Share a pinned location, as colony lanes off the highway can be confusing.

Independent houses usually have a terrace suited for a homam; apartments should check society rules.

Vahana puja can be done at your parking area or gate in a short early slot.

Book early around Vinayaka Chavithi and Shravana Fridays.

Keep rice on a plate, a slate, new books and a pen ready.

Dress the child in new traditional clothes, as many families prefer.
