Aksharabhyasa or Vidyarambha is a significant ceremony for children aged 2–5 that marks the formal initiation into education. By invoking Goddess Saraswati and writing the first letters (“Om”), it seeks blessings for knowledge, creativity, and wisdom, establishing a strong, culturally rooted foundation, signifying the start of formal learning. For the child it creates a positive, memorable association with learning, helping the child feel excited and curious about starting school.

Aksharabhyasa is performed at Sri Sharadamba Temple during the auspicious events – Vasantha Panchami and Saraswathi Pooja/Vijayadasami. The Date & Time will be published in the event fliers (with details how to sponsor online) send by email prior to the event. 

Besides, with a prior appointment fixed with Temple Priests, Akshrabhyasa can be performed at the temple individually. Please contact our Priests to make appointment https://www.svbfnorth.org/our-priests/
