Always seen as wearing a white dress and sitting on a lotus flower, Goddess Saraswati represents knowledge, purity, peace and cleanliness. She is also a benefactor of arts and sciences. The goddess has her own festivals, notably the ‘Saraswati Puja’, also called ‘Vasant Panchami’. It is a spring festival in which devotees wear yellow. Yellow is the colour of learning, knowledge, wisdom and prosperity. It symbolises happiness, peace, meditation, competence and mental development. It is also the colour of spring with the mustard flowers blooming all across North India. So, bright yellow clothes are worn and yellow food is eaten on this beautiful spring festival.
The festival is celebrated every year on the fifth day of the bright half of the Hindu lunisolar calendar month of Magha, which typically falls in late January or February. This year the day will be celebrated on 29th January 2020.
