The last three days of Navratri are considered important beginning with ‘Poojavaippu’, which is performed on the evening of Durgashtami. The next day or Mahanavami, people observe Saraswati Puja or the Ayudha Puja in which books, musical instruments and tools pertaining to one’s profession are worshipped.
On the following day of Vijayadasami, books and tools are removed — and this is known as ‘Puja Eduppu’. It is on this day that a child (between the age of 2-6 years) is initiated into learning or ‘Vidhyarambam’, and as part of the ritual children are made to write alphabets on rice or sand.
