BHOPAL: The chilling cold breeze has become a matter of past. People have packed their woollens. It's time to say bye to shivering cold. Flowers are at full bloom and trees are shedding their leaves to have some new clothing. Sunrays are becoming hotter. And now we should ready up the fans and coolers. Leaving the idleness behind the festival of Basant Panchami has arrived.
It is the festival of worshipping Goddess Saraswati, which will be observed all over on Sunday. It is a special occasion for school children that worship the Goddess of Wisdom offering yellow flowers because yellow colour is prominent these days in nature.
At many places this festival is observed with lot of enthusiasm. Pooja pandals are made and decorated with yellow flowers and curtains. Idles of Goddess Saraswati is installed. On this occasion people worship their books and pray to Goddess to bless then with wisdom and knowledge.<!--QuoteEnd--><!--QuoteEEnd-->
