About Vidya Aarambh Utsav
Vidya Aarambh, also known as Aksharabhyasam, is a sacred ceremony that marks a child’s formal introduction to learning. Rooted deeply in Indian tradition, this ceremony symbolizes purity, blessings, and the joyful beginning of a lifelong educational journey.
At Basil Woods Juniors, we celebrate Vidya Aarambh by blending cultural values with a warm and child-centered environment, helping young learners step into the world of knowledge with confidence, devotion and positivity.
This special event allows parents to experience a meaningful start to their child’s education while exploring the nurturing ecosystem we offer at our Kharghar center.
