| WITH SHOBHA AND NALINI |
We were
at HONGIRANA SCHOOL OF EXCELLENCE, near SAGAR, on a visit. That day happened to be Maha Navami and the school was performing Ayudha Pooja for 14 buses and other vehicles and equipments.
As Shobha, my niece, is the head and CEO of the school, my car HYUNDAI SANTRO was washed and kept for Pooja.
The buses, cars and motor bikes were washed, decorated with flowers, pooja was performed by Purohit.
K G Nagesh Rao, Shobha's uncle was present and was actively helping pooja ceremonies.

| FLEET OF BUSES |
Ayudha Puja is an integral part of the
Navratri festival (festival of triumph), a
Hindu festival which is traditionally celebrated in India. It is also called "Astra Puja", the synonym for Ayudha Puja. In simple terms, it means “Worship of Implements”.
The principal
Shakti goddesses worshiped during the Ayudha puja are
Saraswati (the Goddess of wisdom, arts and literature),
Lakshmi (the goddess of wealth) and
Parvati (the divine mother), apart from various types of equipment.
 |
| POOJA PERFORMED |
On the ninth day of Navaratri, i.e. the Mahanavami day,vehicles, books and all equipments are ceremoniously kept in front of the Goddess Sarasvati and pooja is conducted by purohit and the elders.
 |
| PROCESSION |
It was a very auspicious occasion, and after the pooja, vehicles were taken for a procession for short spin.
