Devi Saraswati is the daughter of Lord Shiva and Goddess Durga. She is the goddess of knowledge, music, and the arts. She is believed to bless people with the power of speech, wisdom, and learning. In one hand she has the lotus, the symbol of true knowledge. Saraswati plays the music of life and love on the string instrument called the veena.

​

Saraswati Puja is celebrated in the Magha month (January–February). It coincides with Vasant Panchami or Shree Panchami. People place books near the goddess' statue or picture and worship the goddess. Many choose the day as a symbolic start of learning the alphabets (Hate Khori) by children.
