How to perform Saraswati Puja in Bengali: A guide with PDF download
Saraswati Puja is a Hindu festival that celebrates the goddess of knowledge, music, art, wisdom and learning. Saraswati is one of the trinity of goddesses, along with Lakshmi and Parvati, who assist Brahma, Vishnu and Shiva in the creation, preservation and destruction of the world. Saraswati is usually depicted as a four-armed or two-armed goddess, riding a swan or a peacock, and holding a veena, a book, a rosary and a water pot. She is worshipped on the fifth day of the bright fortnight of the Magha month (January-February), which is also known as Basant Panchami or Vasant Panchami. On this day, children are initiated into writing and reading by touching their fingers to the feet of the goddess. Saraswati Puja is also observed by Buddhists and Jains in some parts of India. Saraswati is revered as the patroness of knowledge, music and art in countries like Japan, Vietnam, Bali (Indonesia) and Myanmar.
