Saraswathi Pooja Recipes / Ayudha Pooja Recipes
Saraswathi pooja is considered to be a very auspicious day which is celebrated on the 9th day of the Navrathri. On this auspicious day, students offer their books to the Goddess Saraswati who is known to bestow knowledge and wisdom to all of her worshippers.Not only do the students offer their books at the deity's feet but they also neatly cover them and make them look as good as new.It is popular belief that students are forbidden to read on that day; the next day which is Vijaya Dashami is when they should re-open their text books and read thereby invoking the blessings of the Goddess of learning.
"Saraswathi namasthubhiyam varadekamarubhini vidhyarambham karishyami siddhibhavatume sada"
For others the day has special meaning . To all the workers the worship of their tools is a must on this day.This day is celebrated as Ayudha Pooja .People worship Vishwakarma who was the architect of the world . All the tools ,machines etc are cleaned ,painted and well polished after which they are smeared with sandalwood paste and vermilion with great care.

Hi Anusha
Thanks for your wishes and your comment. As per my best knowledge, there is no such order for preparing the neivedhyam. As per belief the concept of arranging these Navrathri dolls on the plank is to depict that Goddess Mahishasuramardini is sitting in her Kolu, prior to the slaying of the demon Mahishasura and therefore it is mandatory to prepare some sundals and offer the same to god as Neyveydhyam. I have posted the variety of sundal recipes in the link
http://www.subbuskitchen.com/search/label/Navrathri. Some people prepare the kondakadalai (chenna dhal) sundal on the sarawathi pooja day. We can also prepare Aval Puttu, Sweet Aval, Pori mixed with grated cocunut and sugar as neivedhyam

Hi,
I am new member of the group. Greetings to one and all. Happy navratri.
Since it's navratri time, can somebody please tell me the different chundals made during these nine days. I believe there is a tradition of one particular chundal each day. Please let me know.
Regards,
Anusha
