DescriptionAyudha Pooja.jpg |
After the slaying of Mahishasura and other demons by Chamundeswari, there was no more use for her weapons. So the weapons were kept aside and worshipped. This Ayudha puja is being celebrated since ancient times. On this auspicious day, students offer their books to the Goddess Saraswati who is known to bestow knowledge and wisdom to all of her worshippers..It is popular belief that students are forbidden to read on that day; the next day which is Vijaya Dashami is when they should re-open their text books and read thereby invoking the blessings of the Goddess of learning. For others the day has special meaning . To all the workers the worship of their tools is a must on this day.This day is celebrated as Ayudha Pooja .People worship Vishwakarma who was the architect of the world . All the tools ,machines, vehicles etc are cleaned ,painted and well polished after which they are smeared with sandalwood paste and vermilion with great care. After the poojas are carried out the machines are left to rest for the day,following which the prasadams consisting of puffed rice, fruits , sweets made of jaggery and "sundal" (boiled lentils) are distributed among everyone. |
