As we gear up to bid adieu to the winters and welcome the warmth of spring, we can't help but be excited to celebrate the wonderful festival of Basant Panchami! This harvest festival marks the official end of winter! This year, people all around the country are celebrating Basant Panchami on 5th February. In the Eastern states of the country, this festival is celebrated as Saraswati Puja, while in the Southern states refer to it as Sri Panchami. Each part of our country has a unique and exciting way to celebrate this festival, but the one thing that they all have in common, is that everybody celebrates it by indulging in mouth-watering mithai!
