Getting Ready for Ayudha Puja


 The streets of Chennai were lined with more impromptu businesses than usual. People were busy buying and selling items for the Ayudha Puja celebration. Some popular purchase items included banana tree stalks, banana bunches, apples, yellow flower garlands, braided palm fronds, and puffed rice. Large piles of green "pumpkins" were also ready for sale, either plain or with a demon-like face already painted on.
