Saraswati Puja tomorrow

UNB, Dhaka
Saraswati Puja will be celebrated across the country tomorrow, mostly in educational institutions, with the Hindu students seeking blessing from their goddess of learning and eloquence.

The deity, Saraswati, is represented as a graceful woman with white skin, wearing a crescent moon on her brow. She rides a swan or a peacock or is seated on a lotus flower.

In the capital, the Saraswati puja is being held regularly in Dhakeswari temple, Siddheswari temple and at Jagannath Hall of Dhaka University.

Students from over 30-35 departments of Dhaka University have made arrangements for the puja on the Jagannath Hall premises this year.
