Ayudha Puja (आयुध पूजा)

Hindus believe that performing Shradh in Pitru Paksha liberates the ancestors and makes them happy. The rituals of Shradh are performed according to Hindu traditions under a lot of restrictions. Some foods are avoided during this time.

Mauli (the sacred red–yellow thread tied on the wrist during pujas) is not tied during Pitru Paksha puja because the rites performed in this period are meant exclusively for the Pitrus (ancestors) and not for the Devas.

There are many ways to get rid of evils in Hinduism. The holy sutras have great importance in Hinduism. People wear these sacred threads on different parts of their body for positive results. Different colors like red, orange, white, black and yellow are present in the sacred thread. All threads have their specific reasons.

Ganesh Visarjan is a significant ritual in the Ganesh Chaturthi festival, marking the culmination of the celebrations dedicated to Bhagwan Ganesh.
