Saraswati Puja, one of the main religious festivals of the Hindu community, is being celebrated across the country on Saturday.
The Puja is celebrated every year on the fifth day of the bright fortnight of the month of Magh, as it is believed that the goddess of wisdom and knowledge was born on this day.
Hindu devotees, especially the students, celebrate the Puja at different educational institutions and temples. However, since educational institutions are closed due to Covid-19 this year, the puja is being celebrated in small scale.
President M Abdul Hamid and Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina on Wednesday greeted the Hindu community on the occasion of Saraswati Puja.
Dhakeshwari Temple and Jatiya Press Club have organised Saraswati Puja.
