Basant Panchami 2022 Date: When is Saraswati Puja in 2022?

According to the Hindu calendar, Basant Panchami is celebrated on the fifth day of the month of Maagh. This year the festival will be celebrated on February 5.

In many parts of the country, the day is also celebrated as Saraswati Puja, which is dedicated to the goddess of music, wisdom, arts, and knowledge. It is believed that goddess was born on this day, and as such, people organise pujas, offer khichdi bhog, pushpanjali, and also wear the colour yellow to mark flowering mustard fields — also known as Godess Saraswati’s favourite colour.

After the puja is completed, children and students also seek blessings from the Goddess, and offer their prayers for enlightenment and wisdom. People also fly kite, and hold cultural programmes to celebrate the auspicious day.
