Basant Panchami! Not to miss!

                                 Basant Panchami, the fifth day of spring, is celebrated by propitiating Goddess Saraswati. As she symbolizes the constant flow of wisdom, she also represents the full blossoming of multi-hued Nature, kindling the light of inspiration and hope.Engrossed as we are in the material world, we are unable to understand it.To keep up with the tradition.



Basant Panchami was celebrated in the Saint Soldier Pratap Nagar Campus in a grand manner and Saraswati Ma was offered with flowers and prashad.The colour yellow is of special import during Basant Panchami as it the coming of Spring after a long and arduous winter. It is the colour of the energy giving Sun; the mustard fields in bloom are a bright yellow, exuding the warmth of an imminent season of Basant or Spring. Fittingly, therefore, the radiance is associated with knowledge – symbolized by Goddess Saraswati.And the teachers and pre primary wing students were dressed up in yellow colour which added the function a special touch.
