On this auspicious day, Wishing you happy Saraswati Puja
Saraswati Puja is dedicated to Goddess Saraswati who is believed to be the harbinger of knowledge, music and art. On this day, the devotees conduct puja, supplicate the Goddess and seek wisdom and knowledge in blessings. Some communities have the ritual of offering newly bought pen and notebook to the goddess so that they are blessed and anyone who uses them achieves success in education. While in West Bengal there is a custom of teaching young children to write their first word on the day of Saraswati Puja. Some people also believe that on this day, no one should touch a book or pen as it might upset the goddess.
The celebration of Saraswati Puja is famous in some schools and colleges also. Cultural programs and feasts are organised to celebrate education and commemorate the Goddess of education.
