For the unversed, Basant Panchami marks the arrival of the spring season in India. It’s celebrated every year on the 5th day of the Hindu lunisolar calendar month of Magha, which is usually around late Jan or Feb.

The festival is dedicated to the goddess Saraswati who symbolises knowledge, music and arts in Hinduism. Her blessings are sought for a better life where knowledge, wisdom etc are prayed for in abundance. Devotees carry out the Saraswati Puja rituals during ‘Anubujh’ muhurta as that’s considered to be an auspicious time.
