hooeey’s first puja

The hooeey team is based in Bangalore - Indians Sillicon Valley. Last Saturday was one of the major festivals called Ayudha Puja which we celebrated in our office. How & why to celebrate a Puja: In Karnataka, Ayudha Puja, is celebrated with the worship of implements used in daily life such as computers, books, vehicles, kitchen tools etc. Basically it includes all tools that help one earn one’s livelihood. So knowledge workers go for books, pen or computers, plough and other agricultural tools by the farmer, machinery by industrialists and cars/buses/trucks by transporters are decorated with flowers and worshiped on this day invoking God’s blessing for success in coming years. It is believed that any new venture such as starting of business or purchasing of new household items on this day is bound to succeed. Well, that has yet to be proved. ;-) Well here is a photo of on computer and hooeey after the puja decorated with flowers.
