Saraswati Puja, also known as Basant Panchami, is a Hindu festival that celebrates the Goddess Saraswati. Devotees honor her by offering prayers, performing rituals, and presenting academic books. The festival marks the beginning of spring and is considered auspicious for starting studies, music, and careers. On Basant Panchami, yellow has particular meaning since it represents the radiance of spring, the ripening of crops, and the blooming of flowers.
