In a unique gesture of devotion and appreciation, daily commuters of the Ramanagara-Bengaluru HAL factory route celebrated Ayudha pooja by decorating their regular transport bus and distributing sweets among passengers.
The morning ritual, traditionally observed to honor tools and instruments, was specially adapted by the travelers to express gratitude for their daily commuting experience.
The bus, which departs Ramanagara at 5 am and returns from HAL in the evening, serves approximately 55 passengers every day. For many of these commuters, this vehicle is not just a means of transport but an integral part of their daily routine, connecting homes to workplaces efficiently. To mark the occasion, passengers adorned the bus with colorful decorations and offered prayers for the safety and well-being of everyone who travels in it.
During the ceremony, the conductor and driver, Rangappa, were also honored by the passengers. They received gifts and tokens of appreciation as a gesture of respect for their service and dedication. The event not only highlighted the cultural significance of Ayudha Puja but also brought together the commuting community in a display of unity and gratitude.
Passengers expressed joy at participating in the celebration, emphasizing how such small traditions add warmth and a sense of belonging to the otherwise routine journey. The observance of Ayudha pooja on this bus route stands as a reminder of the deep connection people form with everyday tools, extending reverence beyond the workplace into daily life.
