Prof. Aradhana Jindal, Principal and Prof. Mekhala Saha enlightened on the concept and significance of Saraswati puja on the occasion of Basant Panchami. It is believed that worshipping Goddess Saraswati on this occasion symbolizes constant flow of the unseen river of wisdom and represents the full blossoming of all the hues of Nature to keep the light of inspiration kindled forever. Maa Saraswati has four hands that signify the ego, mind, intellect and alertness of the human beings. We find her holding lotus in one hand which signifies true knowledge. She also holds the vedas in one hand and carries a veena (musical instrument).Maa Saraswati sits on white swan which symbolises the purest form of knowledge.

Both the faculty and students joined hands together, with great zeal to make the event a memorable one, also evoking the blessing of the goddess of knowledge to have a successful academics and career growth by performing ‘Saraswati Vandana’. The event ended by serving Prasad to everyone present.
