Ayudh Puja Celebration at KBR Bengaluru Office

In October, the KBR Bengaluru office came together to celebrate Ayudh Puja, a festival that beautifully blends tradition with modern work culture. Observed during the Navaratri period, Ayudh Puja is a day dedicated to honoring the tools and instruments that enable us to perform our duties effectively. The term “Ayudh” refers to weapons or tools, and the ritual symbolizes gratitude for these implements, which are essential for progress and productivity.

In today’s context, Ayudh Puja extends beyond traditional tools to include modern equipment such as computers, machinery, and office resources. By performing this ritual, we acknowledge that success is not solely the result of human effort but also the contribution of the tools that support our work.

The celebration at our office featured beautifully decorated workstations, traditional puja rituals, and the sharing of festive sweets. It was a wonderful occasion to embrace cultural heritage while fostering workplace harmony. This event reminded us of the importance of respect and gratitude—not just toward people but also toward the resources that empower us every day.
