Durga Devi
Ayudha Puja (Astra Pooja) is one of the main rituals observed during Durga Navratri. In 2022, Ayudha Puja date is October 5 as per most of the calendars. Ayudha Puja is celebrated on Vijaya Dashami in Uttar Pradesh, Gujarat, Tamilnadu, Kerala, Karnataka, Telangana and Andhra Pradesh.
In Kerala Ayudha Puja is performed on Mahanavami day (4 October 2022). In some other places, Ayudha Puja is also celebrated on Durga Ashtami, 3 October 2022.
Ayudha Puja means the worship of weapons. After annihilating the demon Mahishasur, Goddess Durgas weapons were of no use. The weapons were kept aside and worshipped on Vijaya Dashami by all the Gods and Rishis. Asthra is the synonym for Ayudha, hence the puja is also called as Asthra Pooja.
