**Patna, [Date of Publication]:** The auspicious Saraswati Puja, dedicated to the Hindu goddess of knowledge and learning, will be celebrated in Patna on Monday, February [Date], with full religious zeal and devotion. While the Maagha Shukla Panchami Tithi began on Sunday, the Udayatithi (sunrise-based calculation) dictates that the main puja will be observed on Monday.

Devotees will perform the puja under the auspicious Revati Nakshatra and the Siddhi and Saadhhya Yogas, which are considered highly beneficial. Astrologer PK Yug stated that the Panchami Tithi will last until 9:36 AM on Monday, making it an auspicious time for the puja. However, due to the Udayatithi, prayers can be offered throughout the day. He further explained that the Brahma Vaivarta Purana considers this date ideal for Aksharambh (initiation into learning) and Vidyarambh (commencement of education) ceremonies. Many parents will traditionally initiate their children’s education by having them touch a slate (khalli) on this day.

Mr. Yug also highlighted that Vasant Panchami is considered an Abujh Muhurat, an auspicious time devoid of any inauspicious timings. This means that rituals like Mundan (tonsure), Griha Pravesh (housewarming), laying the foundation of a new building, and purchasing land or vehicles can be undertaken without any specific Muhurat consideration.
