Celebrate Saraswati Puja 2018 ....... :) :)

Goddess Saraswati, regarded as the Hindu deity of music, culture and learning, was worshiped across West Bengal with traditional pomp and gaiety on Monday. It was a day of mirth for children, for whom Saraswati puja is a "no study" day.

The yellow colour signifies the brilliance of nature and the vibrancy of life. People wear clothes of this colour on the day. Devotees keep their notebooks, pens and pencils near goddess Saraswati's feet to seek her blessings.

The festival is mainly observed in the northern part of India. Clay idols of the goddess were seen with a crescent moon on the brow, riding a swan or seated on a lotus with flowers, fruits and sweets placed as offerings before it. Small marquees came up in almost all localities where neighbours gathered to pay obeisance to the goddess, followed by sumptuous lunch comprising "khichuri" -- a mixture of rice and lentils, with potato and cauliflower added for taste.
