Same to you

We wear yellow dress, offer white flowers to the goddess. Yellow khichdi with sweet pumpkin curry and sweet tomato chutney is offered as bhog to Saraswati

Earlier Saraswati puja used to be celebrated with great enthusiasm on basant panchmi. Our elders mention that during their time they used to install idols of Saraswati in schools and every students would offer prayer. However, it has lost its significance nowadays. Though some people celebrate it at home, it is no longer celebrated at schools.

Here in AP my state still perform Saraswati Puja in the old and traditional way.

Thank you Anil. Now my doubt is cleared.  Yellow color in Basant Panchami signifies  glory of nature and positive energy on the arrival of Spring.

Though not so grand but few schools still do so. However it is still very common in Bengal, Bihar and jharkhand to celebrate saraswati puja in schools
