Answer 1

Vasant Panchami or Saraswati Puja is basically a festival celebrated by Hindus in India to mark the advent of spring. Though in India the festivals are celebrated on separate days, in Bengal both of them are observed on the same day or the day after. The festival is celebrated during the month of Magh, which in Gregorian terms comprises parts of January and February. However, in West Bengal, this festival has a special significance in the sense that it is the day when Goddess Saraswati, the Hindu deity of knowledge and learning, is worshipped. The festival is celebrated with great gusto at homes and educational institutions across the province. Among other things, students learn values such as discipline and dedication by working with other students and organizing the festival at home or at school. In certain cases, it has also been seen that the puja has been institutionalized with young kids taking it upon themselves their seniors to organize the festival on a locality-wide scale. They go out to families living in the locality, ask for (a form of monetary collection), gather all that they can from their collections, and organize the festival.
