I am pleased to send my warmest greetings for this year’s Saraswati Puja celebrations by Croydon Bengali Connection (CBC) at Old palace of John Whitgift Junior School, Croydon.

Saraswati is the Goddess of learning and music according to the Hindu mythology. Celebrated at the advent of the spring in academic institutions and homes across Bengal Goddess is Saraswati worshipped by all and particularly by students praying for their academic success.

CBC is celebrating this of evening with worship and a colourful cultural programme, food and festivities using local talent groomed within the community. As a local MP it is my pleasure to be part of this auspicious occasion.

It is also an appropriate time for us to acknowledge the significant contributions that organisation like CBC makes in enriching Croydon socially, culturally and economically.  

I convey my best wishes to you all for a successful and enjoyable Saraswati Puja, 2013 and all such future endeavours. I am sure this festival will enrich cultural and ethnic diversity of Croydon and be an important event of Croydon’s cultural calendar in years to come.
