Like every year K.K. Wagh College of Fine Arts, Nashik did Shastra Pujan in Department. Professors, Offiec Staff and Students actively participated in this.
In our Maharashtrian tradition, the festival is celebrated as Ayudha Puja/Shastra Puja, Vijayadashami, Dasara and Saraswati Puja. All weapons, vehicles, agricultural equipment, machines and metal items are worshiped with leaves of the shami tree, marigold flowers and the 'dhaan' that is grown during 9 days of Navaratri. Marigold flowers have a special significance on Dasara day. Saraswati Puja is performed and Books, Tools, Musical instruments, etc. are worshiped alongside the goddess. People perform a ritual called Simollanghan, crossing boundary of the village and collect leaves of the apta tree.
