Vidyarambha – Ceremony for beginning your child’s education
August 3 @ 3:00 pm - 4:00 pm

Sunday 3 August 2025 | 3pm – 4pm
Vidyarambha – Ceremony for beginning your child’s education.
All events, as our children grow, are special for us. This ceremony of ‘vidya’ education, ‘arambha’ beginning, is another such event. As the child goes to get his/her education we want them to be able to digest what they learn and develop progressively. May their education make them people with good character, good intellect, and ability to make this world a better place. This ceremony is geared for this purpose. We seek the blessings from the goddess of learning ‘mother Saraswati’, from ‘Ganesh’, from ‘Vyasa’ the original guru and teacher, the parents and most of all Lord Krishna.
