On the next day of Saraswati Puja, the Vidyarambam ceremony is celebrated. Children between the age of 4 and 5 go through Vidyarambham ceremony. Vidyarambham is a ceremony in South India, where children between the age of two and three are ritually initiated into the world of learning.
As part of Hindu Dharma, a person born as a hindu has to undergo 16 Samkaras and Vidyarambham is one of the 16 Samskaras. As part of the Vidyarambham ceremony, three letters that symbolize the name of God are written on the tongue of the child with a golden ring. The child is also made to form letters in a plate of rice with the help of elders.
The Vidyarambham festival is conducted on the last day (Vijayadasami day) of the ten-day Navaratri festival and is done by invoking the blessings of Goddess Saraswati, who is the Goddess of Learning as per the Hindu belief.
