What is Aksharabhyasam?
Aksharabhyasam (Vidyarambham) is the ceremony in which a child, usually between two and five years old, writes the first letters — Om and the first letter of the alphabet — in rice, with the blessings of Saraswati and Ganesha.
Aksharabhyasam in Amalapuram
Telugu families do Aksharabhyasam at home or at Basara Gnana Saraswati temple, writing Om Namah Shivaya on rice.
Pandits follow the Telugu Smarta and Vaishnava traditions: mantras are chanted in Sanskrit, and the sankalpam and explanations are given in Telugu. Muhurthams follow the Telugu panchangam (Chandramana calendar).
