With prayers and precautions, people across the state are celebrating ‘Vijayadashami’, one of the most significant festivals in India, on Friday.
On this auspicious day, children are introduced to the world of letters during a special ‘vidyarambham’ ritual in temples and other cultural centres from early morning.
However, strict restrictions have been imposed this year to ensure safety in view of the Covid-19 pandemic. People are urged to hold the ritual at homes and public ceremonies have been curtailed.
