BASANT PANCHAMI

(14 February 2024)

To mark the celebrations of Basant Panchami, a special assembly was organised where Ms. Smita Sharma of Hindi Department enlightened the students about the significance of the festival.

She said that this festival is dedicated to Goddess Saraswati, known as the goddess of art, music and knowledge. Goddess Saraswati symbolises creative energy and power in all their forms. It marks the beginning of spring and the end of winter season. The fields look beautiful with yellow mustard flowers so people wear matching yellow clothes on this day. The colour yellow plays an important role in this festival.

People also fly kites of many colours. It is a day to bring happiness into our lives. Basant Panchami is a celebration of Nature. It reminds us of our connection to our mother earth.
