Basant Panchami in 2022
Basant Panchami is observed on the fifth day (Panchami Tithi) of the Hindu month Magh’s bright fortnight (Shukla Paksha). Basant Ritu (the spring season) begins in India on this day. On this day, Saraswati Puja is also done. The festival is celebrated when the Panchami Tithi prevails during the first half of the day, between sunrise and midday.
Basant Panchami is observed on the second day if Panchami Tithi begins after midday and lasts till the first half of the next day. Only if Panchami Tithi is not present in the first half of the first day at any point in time may the celebration be moved to the next day. Otherwise, the event will take place on the first day of the month. That is why, according to Panchang, Basant Panchami might also fall on the Chaturthi Tithi.

Significance of Basant Panchami 2022
Saraswati Devi, the goddess of wisdom, music, arts, science, and technology, is honoured on Basant Panchami Day. During Basant Panchami, the goddess Saraswati is adored. Shri Panchami and Saraswati Panchami are other names for Basant Panchami.
People worship Saraswati in order to be enlightened by knowledge and to be free of lethargy, sluggishness, and ignorance. This initiation to children’s education is known as Akshar-Abhyasam, Vidya-Arambham, or Prahasana, and it is one of Basant Panchami’s most famous rites. In the morning, schools and colleges organise submissions to seek the goddess’s blessing.
The period between sunrise and sunset, known as Purvahna Kala, is used to determine the day of Basant Panchami. On the day that Panchami Tithi lords over Purvahna Kala, Basant Panchami is observed. Because Basant Panchami might fall in Chaturthi Tithi as well.
Basant Panchami is considered by many astrologers to be an Abujha day, which is auspicious for starting any beneficial endeavour. The entire day of Basant Panchami, according to this idea, is favourable to the performance of Saraswati Puja.
Although there is no specific timing to do Saraswati Puja on Basant Panchami, it is important to make sure that the Puja is completed when the Panchami Tithi is in effect. On Basant Panchami day, Panchami Tithi does not always dominate throughout the day, hence we feel it is, therefore, we believe it is important to make Saraswati puja within Panchami Tithi.
Saraswati Puja is traditionally performed during Purvahna Kala when Panchami Tithi is in effect. Purvahna Kala occurs between sunrise and noon, which is also when most people, including schools and universities in India, attend Saraswati Puja.

Vasant Panchami and Saraswati Puja
Basant Panchami, also as Vasant Panchami, is the birthday of Goddess Saraswati. Vasant Panchami is a day when students, educational institutions, and anyone engaging in any form of creative endeavour can seek Goddess Saraswati’s blessings.
Saraswati is a Hindu goddess who is associated with creation, knowledge, music, art, wisdom, and education. The auspicious date of Basant Panchami is considered favourable in many parts of the Indian subcontinent for children to begin their schooling. To appease goddess Saraswati and express appreciation, people execute numerous rituals and pujas at their homes, temples, and places of learning. If you’re planning a Saraswati Puja, keep in mind that the festival’s colour scheme and theme are both yellow. You can never go wrong by offering Saraswati yellow saris, draperies, sweets, and flowers.
Why is Yellow Colour favoured on Basant Panchami?
Why do people emphasise the significance of wearing yellow on the day of Goddess Saraswati’s adoration, Basant Panchami? In reality, there are two major reasons behind this. The first reason is that the cold gradually dissipates after Basant Panchami, and the temperature becomes very comfortable at this time. It is neither too cool nor too hot at this time. The atmosphere is very beautiful. Trees, plants, leaves, flowers, and buds all begin to bloom at this time, and mustard crops begin to wave in the hamlet. On this day, the significance of the colour yellow is discussed in relation to all of these factors.
Aside from that, another legend claims that the sun turns Uttarayan on the day of Basant Panchami. The sun’s rays are thought to represent the concept that, like the sun, a person’s life should become serious and passionate. On the day of Basant Panchami, yellow-coloured clothing is worn in honour of these two faiths.

How To Perform Saraswati Puja On Basant Panchami 2022?
Wake up early on Basant Panchami 2022, clean your house, prepare puja preparations, and take a bath. Before having a bath, apply a paste of neem and turmeric to your body according to the procedure. The goddess’s favourite colour is yellow/white, and the festival’s colour code is yellow/white. The Saraswati idol should be placed in the Puja Pandal or platform as the first and most crucial step. Place the Ganesha idol next to Saraswati’s idol because he is her favourite god. It is recommended that you set a book, musical instrument, journal, or other creative elements at the place of worship. It is usually advisable to seek out a priest to do correct puja rites.
If you are doing it yourself, take a plate and decorate it with kumkum, turmeric, rice, and flowers before offering it to Saraswati and Ganesha to express appreciation and ask for their blessings.
Recite mantra aarti and perform Saraswati Puja. Make an effort to get your family together and spend the day with your kids. Encourage them to compose something original and to learn or play a musical instrument. Many villages, in fact, hold lyrical and musical festivals to honour Goddess Saraswati.
On the auspicious day of Basant Panchami 2022, you can always go to the local temple and perform Saraswati Puja.
