Overview

Aksharabhyasam (Vidyarambh) for families in Shivpur

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.

Shivpur is on the western side of Varanasi, beyond the busier central areas. Once more semi-rural, it has grown into a residential area with new colonies, independent houses, apartment buildings, schools and markets.

माङ्गल्यं तन्तुनानेन मम जीवनहेतुना।

कण्ठे बध्नामि सुभगे त्वं जीव शरदां शतम्॥

Traditional vivaha mantra

Planning Your Puja in Shivpur

Allow extra travel time if the Pandit is coming from central Varanasi.
Share your exact location pin, as newer colonies can be hard to navigate.
Courtyards and terraces in independent houses suit a larger havan.
For Vahan puja, park the vehicle in an open space with room around it.
Share the child's birth details if you want the Pandit to suggest a day.
Keep a plate of rice, a slate, new books and pens ready.
