This year BasantPanchami is being celebrated on 14 Feb 2024. This occasion marks the arrival of spring and has great cultural and spiritual significance. It's a great time to start new things. The Indian architectural science, Vastu Shastra, provides wise guidance on enhancing luck and fortune with the blessings of Maa Saraswati the Goddess of wisdom. In this regard, Deepali Sharma, a Vastu Expert of the All India Institute of Occult Science founded by Gurudev Shrei Kashyap suggests some Vastu tips for Basant Panchmi 2024. 

Vastu tips for home

• According to Vastu Shastra, it is recommended to place the goddess Saraswati's idol in the north or northeast direction for Saraswati Puja, as this direction is very fortunate. 
• Positioning the idol in the northeast (Ishan Kon) is said to boost the blessings and bring out good energy.
• It is advised to select an idol or image of the goddess for the puja that shows Saraswati sitting on a lotus flower and wearing the mudra, or a hand gesture, that represents guidance, especially having veena in her hand for the blessings of  students and musicians.
• It's advisable to avoid worshiping a goddess shown as standing in an idol or figure during Saraswati Puja. Because sitting is more effective and  it indicates  the knowledge  will be permanently placed in our area.it is also vital that no two Saraswati statues or images be placed in the puja area. Conflicting energies may result from this, disrupting the peaceful state of mind.
• Decorate the front door and all the other doors in the house with gorgeous decorations. Pick some actual marigolds, some lily flowers, and beads and bells, as these can help attract positive energy.

Vaastu expert's suggestions for students

• Include some light green or yellow flowers in the study area. The colors listed above are connected to optimism and intellectual development.
• On the day of Basant Panchami, the student should keep his books and stationery in the west-southwest corner.
• The student must offer Maa Saraswati yellow sweets and be dressed in yellow.
• At Saraswati puja, students should face northeast while offering prayers.
• Saraswati Mantra for academic achievement . Before beginning their exam preparation, students are advised to recite this mantra in order to invoke Maa Saraswati's blessing of memory and focus.
• The student's room's east wall should  include the image of Maa Saraswati seated with veena in her hands.

Vastu tips for Office

• The seating arrangement within the office or workspace should be decorated with yellow or orange flowers such that it promotes harmony and encourages collaboration among team members.
• Place  Maa Saraswati idol in the northeast direction of the office and do prayers by offering yellow sweets and flowers; everyone should recite Saraswati Chalisa or stuti on that day.
• During puja, essential documents, office supplies, and bill books should be placed at the goddess' feet with a Swastika symbol drawn on them using turmeric.
• The bookshelf in the workplace should be placed in a west-southwest direction. Flowers can also be used to beautify it, and the office has to have some Chandan incense.
• To ensure the constant flow of positive energy, the business premises must be maintained and sustained. Before the Saraswati puja, fix any leaks, defective fixtures, or broken equipment as soon as possible because they can cause difficulties that may stand in the way of achievement.
