Overview

Aksharabhyasam (Vidyarambh) for families in Malad

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.

Malad lies between Goregaon and Kandivali in Mumbai's western suburbs. Malad West stretches from the station and SV Road out towards Evershine Nagar, Marve and Madh Island, while Malad East has older neighbourhoods alongside large residential projects and office parks near the Western Express Highway.

माङ्गल्यं तन्तुनानेन मम जीवनहेतुना।

कण्ठे बध्नामि सुभगे त्वं जीव शरदां शतम्॥

Traditional vivaha mantra

Planning Your Puja in Malad

Share your tower name and wing, as many complexes in Malad have several buildings and a single gate.
Traffic near the station, SV Road and the Link Road builds up in the evening; morning pujas are easier to reach.
Confirm possession and society move-in rules before fixing a Griha Pravesh date.
The Pandit can bring samagri or share a list if you prefer to buy it locally.
For Chhath, ask about the nearest arranged ghat or beach point, as these are set up close to the day.
