Hindu Mythology has 33 Million Gods and Goddesses and each of them has a specific role to play in the cosmos. Of them, Goddess Saraswati is deemed as the Goddess of knowledge, music, art, speech, wisdom, and learning.
Vasanta Panchami, as in the fifth day of Vasant Mash (month of Vasant), is marked to worship the Goddess. Students, teachers, and everyone related to other art forms pray to the Goddess on this auspicious day.
Yet the state of West Bengal has a grand way of celebrating it. Almost all pandals that conduct Durga and Kali Puja organizes the festival along with each and every institute. You would be surprised to know that even the universities in Bangladesh worship Saraswati in their educational buildings.
This clearly indicates that there is a lot of young mass that takes part in the Pujo. And where there is youth, there is a hundred percent chance of romance. Then why relate it with Valentine’s Day? Well, it generally falls around the V Day and so it got all mushy and cheesy for the ones who are into it.
Here are the cute factors that make the day the best day for Bong lovers.
It’s the love season
The Ritu of Bosonto or Vasanta has been always denoted as the season of love, poetically. At this time of the year, the winter chill reduces and flowers start blooming, making the world beautiful for the couple.
The ravishing Bong beauties in sarees, and Bangali Babu in Dhotis
Everyone is at their traditional best today. And women in traditional ‘Basanti’ or yellow sarees are definitely sparkling. Men in their ‘Dhoti Panjabi/Kurta’ seem like perfect Bangali Zamindars.
It’s a wedding match kinda feeling. Damn.
No studies
Studying is strictly prohibited in Saraswati Pujo as books are offered at the feet of the Goddess. So, that’s a perfect leisure time for students to spend with friends or lovers.
No strict restrictions
This is the only day when bong teenagers do not need the permission of parents to stay out. Kids go to schools, colleges, tuition classes, or the lovers’ park, and stay out as long as they want.
Best time for dates and proposals
As the guys and girls have quality time to spend, they are all lit up. Moreover, in such a romantic mood, it is a totally good idea to ask someone out, or even propose.
