Saraswati Puja 2023

WMBCA will be celebrating Saraswati Puja on Saturday, February 11, 20223

Saraswati Puja is one of the main festivals of East India which is celebrated on the 5th day of Magh month of the Hindu Calendar, which falls in January or February of English Calendar. This day is called Basant Panchami (Fifth Day of Spring) and indicates the beginning of the
Spring season.

Maa Saraswati is the goddess of knowledge, art, music, and wisdom. She is revered for her purifying and enriching powers, and is worshipped by people for endowment of wisdom and learning. She represents the creative and inspirational aspect of Shakti. Saraswati Puja is observed during that period of the year when nature is afresh and blossoming after a harsh winter. Symbolically, this puja represents the removal of gloominess and ushering in of freshness or the onset of spring.

Saraswati Puja is also synonymous with yellow color, the color of newness and brightness. The main event on the day is the initiation of children into the world of letters and knowledge, also known as Hathe Khori in Bengali language
