Introduction:
Aksharabhyasam is a sacred religious event which is performed before a child starts its education career. This occasion is usually performed once the child completes two years and is in its third year. The mind of the child at this period is slowly developing and is curious in learning many things in the world, hence this function called Aksharabhyasam is performed in the 3rd year as a preliminary event to begin its schooling formally.

Aksharabhyasam when divided, ‘Akshara’ means alphabets and ‘Abhyasam’ means practice. This function is therefore believed to be a basic requirement as per the Hindu belief for every child before it starts its official schooling education.

How to Perform Aksharabhyasam:

Keep a note of the following things if you are planning to perform Aksharabhyasam for your child at Basara Sri Gnana Saraswati Temple:

  • Carry minimum 1 kg rice along with you which is required to be spread on the slate at the time of Aksharabhyasam.
  • Though not obligatory, for your handiness you can carry a cotton towel for keeping the slate on it.
  • A small amount of Pasupu (turmeric powder) and Kumkumam needs to be carried with you to be used while performing the Pooja.
  • The remaining items like slate, chalks, coconut, flowers and flower garland etc are easily accessible at the temple site.
  • Visitors need to remember that as these days are very divine for performing Aksharabhyasam, there will be huge queues and people will have to wait for many hours standing in the line.

As this function is performed on auspicious days, there will be hundreds of families seated in front of the main deity and the temple priest will be instructing you on mike which needs to be cautiously followed to complete the function fruitfully. One more important thing to be kept in mind is to accommodate all the materials brought for the Pooja on your lap and also your child as you would find it very difficult to sit easily because of the huge crowd. This could make the event easier to be completed.
  • Waiting hours in the long queues could definitely make your children annoyed and so remember to carry adequate dry foods like biscuits, etc and water bottles. If possible, also remember to carry your child’s favorite toys so that he / she gets engrossed in playing.

  • There are two options of performing the Aksharabhyasam function at the temple premises – one is inside the temple exactly beforethe main deity and the ticket cost for this is Rs 500/-. The other option is in any place in the premises of the temple outside the Sanctum Sanctorum and this ticket costs only Rs50/-. So you can perform the Aksharabhyasam function in the temple as per your affordability.
