What is Aksharabhyasam Puja?
Aksharabhyasam, also known as Vidyarambham, Akshara Sweekaram, or Haate Khori, is a sacred Hindu ceremony that marks a child’s first step into formal education. It is one of the key Samskaras in a child’s life — symbolizing the beginning of knowledge, wisdom, and academic pursuits.
Typically performed when a child is between 2 to 5 years old, this ceremony seeks the blessings of Goddess Saraswati, the deity of learning, and sets a positive, spiritual foundation for the child’s educational journey.
Why Perform Aksharabhyasam Puja?
✅ Invokes the blessings of Maa Saraswati for intelligence and learning
✅ Helps the child start their schooling with spiritual and cultural grounding
✅ Cleanses negative influences and builds positive energy around education
✅ Brings focus, discipline, and a divine start to the child’s intellectual growth
✅ A powerful Vedic tradition to honor and preserve Indian cultural roots
