Basant Panchami 2011 – Saraswati Puja Vasant Panchami Festival 2011
-->
Basant Panchami is a Hindu festival and comes mainly in the month of 8th February. The festival is celebrated at the end of the winter, to welcome spring and is dedicated to the Goddess of wisdom and knowledge, Saraswati.
The festival marks the beginning of a new life with yellow mustard flowers starting to bloom and nature displaying her majestic best. Thus the color of the festival is yellow and that’s why people wear yellow clothes and consume yellow sweets.
The most interesting feature of Vasant Panchami is kite flying. One can see the blue sky covered with numbers of colorful kites. The festival is celebrated with great vigor especially in educational institutions as the students place their books at the goddess Saraswati feet, thus signifying that the books are being blessed by the goddess.
