With Saraswati Puja 2025 approaching, there is some confusion about the exact date of the celebration. According to calender Vasant Panchami falls on Sunday, February 2, 2025, and ends on February 3. While many will observe the puja on February 2 during the specified Muhurat, others may perform it on February 3 due to regional traditions.
Saraswati Puja, also known as Basant Panchami in several parts of India, is a celebration of Maa Saraswati, the goddess of knowledge, wisdom, and arts. She is often depicted in a white saree, symbolizing purity, holding a Veena, books, or a rosary, and sitting on a lotus with a swan nearby.
The day is particularly special for students, artists, and educators, as they seek Maa Saraswati’s blessings for academic and creative excellence. The festival is observed with devotion across India, especially in West Bengal, Assam, Orissa, Bihar, and Delhi.Traditions vary by region, from rituals to the food offered to the goddess, but the essence remains the same—celebrating knowledge and learning. People often wear yellow or white, symbolizing purity and wisdom, and prepare offerings like fruits, sweets, and khichdi.Whether you celebrate on February 2 or February 3, the day is a reminder of the importance of education, creativity, and enlightenment in our lives.
