KATHMANDU, Feb 6: People were seen lining up at the Maha Manjushree Temple (Lhasapakhe or Saraswati Sthan) located at Bageshwori, Bhaktapur on the occasion of Saraswati Puja.

Saraswati Puja, also known as Basanta Panchami or Shree Panchami, is being celebrated across the country today by worshiping Saraswati, the goddess of knowledge, wisdom, learning,  art, music and culture.

Similarly, the festival is taken as the symbol of the advent of the spring season as plants start sprouting; winter crops like barley and wheat plants and plum, pear and peach trees start yielding and many flowering plants start blooming.
