Saraswati Puja: Celebrating the Goddess of Knowledge and Learning
Saraswati Puja, also known as Vasant Panchami, is a revered Hindu festival dedicated to Goddess Saraswati—the embodiment of knowledge, music, art, and wisdom. Celebrated on the fifth day of the Shukla Paksha (waxing phase of the moon) in the month of Magha (typically January or February), this occasion marks a time of devotion and new beginnings. In 2021, Saraswati Puja was observed on February 16 according to the Hindu calendar.
The festival holds special significance for students, artists, musicians, and scholars, who seek the blessings of Goddess Saraswati for success and enlightenment in their pursuits.
