Basant Panchami, a festival dedicated to the goddess Saraswati, is widely observed across India. It falls on the fifth day of the month of Magha and is observed on the first day of spring.
On this day, delicious traditional delicacies are prepared and consumed. While kites are flown throughout North India, particularly in Punjab and Haryana, it is known as Saraswati Puja in the eastern half of the nation, such as West Bengal. Sri Panchami is the name given to it in the southern states. In Gujarat, flowers are exchanged as gifts in the form of bouquets and garlands made of mango leaves.
