Mother Goddess Saraswati wishes to provide knowledge, prosperity and good health in everyone's life," Union Minister Amit Shah tweeted (in roughly translated Hindi). Basant Panchami, the festival which marks the arrival of the spring season in India, would be celebrated on February 16, this year.

As per the Hindu Mythology, Lord Brahma is believed to have created the universe on this day. Apart from that, the reason for the celebration of Saraswati Puja in some parts of the country is because it was believed that on this day Goddess Durga gave birth to Goddess Saraswati.

The significance of the occasion is huge in Hindu culture, as the day is considered extremely auspicious to start new work, get married or perform house warming ceremony (Grah Pravesh).
