Today is Basant Panchami, a festival which is centred on the Goddess Sarswati.
On this day, devotees, particularly students, pay obeisance to Saraswati, the goddess of knowledge and music. Educational institutions across the state are observing Saraswati Puja with due adherence to COVID protocols.
However, what is different this time around is the cold weather owing to the incessant rainfall. Recently Assam’s Health and Family Welfare Minister, Keshab Mahanta, announced on Sunday that the state government will not release a new Saraswati Puja SOP.
