Pujas for studies and exams

Saraswati Pooja

Saraswati Pooja is the worship of Goddess Saraswati, the deity of knowledge, speech, music and the arts. Students, teachers and artists perform it before exams and new courses, and young children begin learning with it at Aksharabhyasam (Vidyarambham).

  • Focus, memory and success in studies
  • An auspicious start to a child’s education
  • Blessings for music and the arts

Aksharabhyasam

Aksharabhyasam (Vidyarambham) is the ceremony in which a child, usually between two and five years old, writes the first letters — Om and the first letter of the alphabet — in rice, with the blessings of Saraswati and Ganesha.

  • Blessings of Saraswati for learning and wisdom
  • An auspicious start to the child’s education
  • Good memory, speech and concentration

Ganesh Pooja

Ganesh Pooja is the worship of Lord Ganesha, the remover of obstacles (Vighneshwara), done before any new beginning — moving into a home, opening a business, buying a vehicle, starting studies — and every year on Vinayaka Chavithi (Ganesh Chaturthi).

  • Removes obstacles before a new venture, journey or ceremony
  • Brings an auspicious start to a home, business or vehicle
  • Blesses students with focus, memory and success in studies
