Ayudha Puja

Ayudha Puja is a part of the Navratri festival (Nine nights), a Hindu festival that is traditionally celebrated in India. It may be translated to “worship of Instruments”. On the tenth day of the Dasara festival, weapons and tools are worshipped. The Puja is considered a meaningful custom, which focuses specific attention to one’s profession and its related tools and connotes that a divine force is working behind it to perform well and for getting the proper reward. On 03.10.2022 Monday Ayudha Puja was celebrated by the staff of Prime Trust at Sishubhavan ( Muthialpet), Janani home( Colas Nagar) and Prime trust office ( Rainbow Nagar). In all the three places puja’s were done with lighting the lamp, offering aarti, flowers, sweet pongal and chick pea to the deity. The participants were given sweet pongal and chick pea. A special program was organized in Prime Trust. It started with the prayer song and continued by welcome speech. The Prime Trust Founder and Chairman Mr. SM Arasu gave a short speech on the various experiences of Prime Trust for the past 20 years.
