Overview
Aksharabhyasam (Vidyarambh) for families in Borivali
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.
Borivali sits at the northern end of Mumbai's western suburbs, with the green hills of Sanjay Gandhi National Park and the Kanheri Caves on its eastern side. It is one of the city's most settled residential suburbs, known for its cooperative housing societies, busy markets near the station and newer towers in Borivali East and West.
