She is also a symbol of wisdom and music. A white saree is her iconic dress. Also, she sits on a white lotus with a veena in her hand. Besides, she keeps a swan by her side. There are many mythological stories of Saraswati.<\/p>\n<p><strong>1.<\/strong> As per Hindu mythology, Lord Brahma created the universe. After creating the universe, he did not know how to organize it. So, he needed to get the knowledge to do his task. So, he created the goddess of knowledge and wisdom. She was Saraswati. The goddess helped him create and order the cosmic universe. Thus, the goddess became his Shakti(power). Then Lord Bramha named her Vagdevi which means the goddess of speech and sound. Thus, the people of India believe the Vasant Panchami day to be the birthday of the goddess. So, they celebrate Vasant Panchami Saraswati Puja every year.<\/p>\n<p><strong>2.<\/strong> There is another story of Saraswati Devi. It talks about her marriage to Lord Brahma. It says that Lord Vishnu was Saraswati\u2019s first husband. He had three wives. So, he decided to give Saraswati to Lord Brahma. One day, Saraswati was late in attending a ritual. This made her husband Brahma angry. So, he created another wife Gayatri to complete the ritual. Then Saraswati became angry and cursed Brahma so that no one would ever worship him. Therefore, no temple or deity of Lord Brahma is there in the world.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Read Also: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.tusktravel.com\/blog\/top-festivals-of-west-bengal\/\">Top 10 Festivals of West Bengal<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"why-is-saraswati-puja-celebrated\"><\/span>Why is Saraswati Puja celebrated?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-6078 aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/www.tusktravel.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/01\/saraswati-puja-celebration.jpg\" alt=\"saraswati puja celebration\" width=\"800\" height=\"450\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.tusktravel.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/01\/saraswati-puja-celebration.jpg 800w, https:\/\/www.tusktravel.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/01\/saraswati-puja-celebration-300x169.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.tusktravel.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/01\/saraswati-puja-celebration-768x432.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.tusktravel.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/01\/saraswati-puja-celebration-20x11.jpg 20w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Vasant Panchami Saraswati Puja is vital to the students.

My favorite word is \"Opportunity \". I strongly believe in optimism and miracles. I have a keen interest in knowing about places and people. I love writing about travel, beauty care, self-help, parenting, career and much more interesting stuff around the world. I have previously worked as a Training Manager. My passion for writing has made me a full-time writer today. However, that does not stop me from taking care of my son's lessons. I am a big-time Foodie. I love spending time with my family. I am also fond of reading books, dancing, singing my own song, workout, and movies.","url":"https:\/\/www.tusktravel.com\/blog\/author\/paromita\/"}]}},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.tusktravel.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/6076","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.tusktravel.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.tusktravel.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.tusktravel.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.tusktravel.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=6076"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.tusktravel.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/6076\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.tusktravel.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/39089"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.tusktravel.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=6076"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.tusktravel.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=6076"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.tusktravel.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=6076"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
