What is Ayudha Puja?
Ayudha means an implement or tool. On Ayudha Puja, people honour the instruments that support their work, from farm tools and machines to books, musical instruments and vehicles. It is widely observed in Karnataka, Tamil Nadu, Kerala and Andhra Pradesh.
Many families observe it on Maha Navami, and some keep it around Vijayadashami. Customs differ by region and family, so follow your own tradition. Dates depend on the Panchang for your city, so this page does not list them.
How families do Ayudha Puja at home
Families usually clean the tools, books or instruments first and arrange them in a tidy place. They then apply kumkum or sandal paste, place flowers, light a lamp and say a short prayer.
Ask your priest which offerings your household uses. A thali or lamp is one part of the preparation, not a complete ceremony kit. Keep lit lamps away from books, wiring and work materials.
Dussehra and Vijayadashami
Dussehra, also called Dasara or Vijayadashami, marks the victory of good over evil. In many places it recalls Lord Rama's victory over Ravana. In others it recalls Goddess Durga's victory over the demon Mahishasura.
Choose a Durga or Ram form, or a pocket temple that includes Saraswati, according to the tradition your family follows. In the South, some families also begin a child's first lessons on Vijayadashami, a custom called Vidyarambham.
Choosing puja essentials
Start with a small altar form, a lamp and a thali, then add flowers, incense and other pooja samagri as your family prefers. Check the size and care of each piece before you choose.
Browse Sacred God Idols, frames and idols and Jaap malas. Each product page states what is included, and you can add other puja pieces separately.
Divine Hindu is an online store, so if you search for a puja store near me, you can browse these pieces from home.
