According to the Vedic calendar, Basant Panchami (Basant Panchami 2026 Date) will be celebrated on January 23rd. This day is dedicated to Goddess Saraswati, the deity of knowledge, wisdom, music, and arts. According to religious beliefs, Goddess Saraswati incarnated on the fifth day of the bright half of the month of Magha. Therefore, the festival of Basant Panchami is celebrated with great enthusiasm on this date. On this day, after taking a bath in the morning, people install an idol of Goddess Saraswati in their homes and perform puja (worship).
It is believed that installing the idol of Goddess Saraswati in the wrong direction deprives the devotee of the full benefits of the worship.
