Saraswati Puja

Saraswati Puja in schools celebrates the goddess of knowledge, arts, and wisdom (Goddess Saraswati) during Vasant Panchami (Jan-Feb), involving decorations with yellow flowers/rangoli, idol installation, prayers (mantras/shlokas), cultural programs (songs, dances, recitations), and distribution of sweets (prasad). It's a significant event for students, fostering community, cultural values, and a spiritual connection to learning, often marking the symbolic start of alphabet learning (Hate Khori) for young children.
