New Delhi: The festival of Basant Panchami, which marks the onset of spring, will be celebrated on Saturday (February 5). Celebrated on the fifth day of Shukla Paksha in the Hindu month of Magh, the day is dedicated to Goddess Saraswati.

Known as Goddess of ‘Vidya’ or Knowledge, Wisdom, Learning, Art, and Music, Goddess Saraswati is normally draped in a yellow or white spotless sari and seated on an inverted white lotus or riding a swan.

The Shubh Muhurat of the festival of Basant Panchami is from 07:07 am to 12:35 am. While the Tithi for Basant Panchami starts on 5 February at 3:47 am and ends on 6 February at 3:46 am.

What’s the significance?

On the day, devotees offer prayers to Goddess Saraswati, who carries a lotus and scriptures in two of her hands playing music on her veena (a musical instrument), and a pot of water in her other two hands.

The inverted lotus symbolises ‘a search for knowledge’, the white swan, a symbol of spiritual perfection is the vehicle of the goddess, and the Veena represents harmony and signifies perfection in arts and music. A peacock is also placed on the right side of Saraswati symbolising equilibrium between reason and emotion.

Students look forward to Saraswati puja with a lot of enthusiasm, and it is celebrated with sincerity and fervor in educational establishments and at home.

It’s interesting to note that in Bengal, people also celebrate the occasion as the day of love, and hence it is also known as Valentine’s Day of the Bengalis.

Besides puja rituals, there are also poetic and musical gatherings. It is on this day that young kids are taught to write their alphabets for the first time. People also dress up in yellow to take part in the celebrations.

Besides Saraswati Puja, it is also the time for farmers to celebrate as the agricultural fields are full of yellow flowers of the mustard crop. The day is also considered as auspicious to venture into something new, get married, or perform griha Pravesh (house warming ceremony).
