Saraswathi Namastubhyam | K S Chithra | Dance Choreography by Gayathri Govind

“Saraswathi Namastubhyam,Varade Kaamaroopini Vidyaarambham Karishyaami,Siddhir Bhavatu Mey Sada“ Vijaya Dashami is not only celebrated for the victory of good over evil but it also denotes a time for all the positive beginnings for one and all. One of the significant rituals at this point of time is Ezhuthiniruthu or Vidyarambham, also called Aksharabhyasam (or the the holy start of education) for toddlers where they write their first letter on rice and sand. Since Goddess Saraswati is considered to be the Goddess of wisdom, the ceremony is dedicated to her and usually conducted on the last day of Navratri or Vijayadashmi. This year, Vijayadashmi is on October 26, 2020.
