On the day of Ayudha Puja, Goddess Saraswati, the goddess of learning, Lakshmi, the goddess of prosperity, and Parvati, the goddess of power, are worshipped. The religious significance of this occasion is to commemorate the victory of the goddess Durga over Mahishasura, or the conquest of Lanka by Rama. In South India, Ayudha Puja is primarily dedicated to Goddess Saraswati, with the practice of educational materials such as books, pens, pencils, and musical instruments to signify the victory of knowledge over ignorance. In today’s time, Ayudha Puja has become Vahana Puja when people worship their vehicles, including cars, scooters, and motorbikes decorated with vermilion, garlands, mango leaves, and banana saplings and worshipped.
