Saraswati Puja
Saraswati Puja is a Hindu festival dedicated to Goddess Saraswati, the deity of knowledge, music, art, and wisdom. Celebrated primarily in India and Bangladesh, it usually falls on the fifth day of the Hindu month of Magha, which typically corresponds to January or February. Devotees worship the goddess by placing her idol on a decorated platform, offering flowers, fruits, and sweets, while chanting prayers and hymns.
On this day, students often place their books and musical instruments near the idol, seeking blessings for success in their studies and artistic pursuits. The festival is marked by vibrant celebrations, including cultural programs, music, and dance, fostering a spirit of learning and creativity in the community.
