Basant Panchami marks the beginning of the transition period from winter to spring. It is celebrated by the Hindu community with Saraswati Puja, dedicated to Goddess Saraswati, the deity of wisdom, learning and arts. In 2025, Basant Panchami will be celebrated on Sunday, February 2. The auspicious Panchami Tithi (fifth lunar day) will begin at 9.14 am on February 2 and end at 6.52 am on February 3.
Significance of Basant Panchami
Basant Panchami holds great cultural and religious importance across India. It is believed that Goddess Saraswati, the symbol of wisdom, knowledge, and creativity, was born on this day. Schools, colleges, and temples organise special prayers and cultural programs, while students seek divine blessings for academic success.
The festival also marks the arrival of spring (Basant Ritu). Wearing yellow attire and preparing traditional sweets like Kesari Halwa and Boondi Ladoo are integral parts of the celebrations. In North India, kite flying is a popular tradition, while in Bengal, Odisha, and Assam, Saraswati Puja is observed with great devotion.
