Basant Panchami heralds the arrival of spring and is dedicated to Goddess Saraswati, the deity of knowledge, music, art, and wisdom. The festival is marked by devotees wearing yellow clothes, symbolizing the vibrant mustard flowers that bloom during this season.
During Magh Mela, this day takes on added significance as pilgrims combine the worship of Goddess Saraswati with the sacred bath in the Ganges. Students and artists particularly revere this day, seeking blessings for success in their educational and creative pursuits.
