The puja is celebrated every year on the fifth day of the “bright fortnight” in the month of Magh, as Goddess Saraswati was born on this day, which is called the "Vasant Panchami."
As Saraswati is considered the goddess of wisdom and knowledge, Hindu devotees, especially students, celebrate the puja at different educational institutions and temples.
In Dhaka, Saraswati puja will be arranged at different places including: Jagannath Hall in the Dhaka University campus, Ramakrishna Mission, Siddheswari temple, Shakhari Bazar, Tanti Bazar, Banani, Dhaka College, Eden Mohila College, Buet, Ramna Kali Mandir and others.
