Overview
Aksharabhyasam (Vidyarambh) for families in Sigra
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.
Sigra is one of the more central, modern parts of Varanasi, the city also known as Kashi, with broad roads, hotels, showrooms and residential colonies. It sits between the railway station side of the city and the old city, which makes it a common place for visitors to stay.
माङ्गल्यं तन्तुनानेन मम जीवनहेतुना।
कण्ठे बध्नामि सुभगे त्वं जीव शरदां शतम्॥
