Guru Purnima, celebrated on the full moon day of the month of Ashadha in the Hindu calendar, honors spiritual and academic teachers, with special reverence given to the sage Vedavyasa, known for compiling the Vedas and other essential texts. At our school, the significance of this day was emphasized through various rituals, including Askharabhyasam, a traditional initiation into learning, and Padapuja, a ceremonial worship of the Guru, fostering respect and gratitude towards educators who illuminate our paths.

Aksharabhyasam

Aksharabhyasam, or Vidhyarambham, is a cherished Hindu ceremony that marks the formal initiation of children into learning and writing, celebrated at our school for Kindergarten students.

Pada Puja

Padapuja is a significant Hindu ritual that expresses gratitude towards revered figures, particularly parents and grandparents, and at Abhyasa, students perform this ceremony to honor their parents and receive their blessings.
