Ayudha Puja is the day we honor and express gratitude for all the instruments that add meaning to our life.
It takes into consideration small things like pins, knives, scissors, and spanners as well as large devices such as computers, machinery, cars, and buses.
In olden times, weapons used in war were worshipped as they were the means of defeating enemies. For instance, in Karnataka, celebrations on Ayudh Puja commemorate the slaying of the demon king Mahishasura by Goddess Chamundeshwari, an incarnation of Parvati Devi.
