Overview

Saraswati Puja for families in Rathyatra

Saraswati Puja honours Goddess Saraswati, who is associated with vidya (knowledge), vani (speech), music, arts and wisdom. She is depicted in white, seated on a lotus or with a swan, holding the veena, a book and a mala.

Rathyatra is one of the best-known crossings in central Varanasi, linking Sigra, Mahmoorganj and the roads towards the south of the city. Its name comes from the traditional Rath Yatra fair of Lord Jagannath held in the area each year.

या कुन्देन्दुतुषारहारधवला या शुभ्रवस्त्रावृता।

या वीणावरदण्डमण्डितकरा या श्वेतपद्मासना॥

Saraswati Vandana

Planning Your Puja in Rathyatra

The crossing is congested for much of the day; early-morning slots are easiest.
During the Rath Yatra fair, expect road diversions and heavy crowds nearby.
Commercial buildings may restrict open flames, so check before a havan.
Parking can be limited near the crossing; arrange a drop-off point for the Pandit.
Keep books, pens, musical instruments, yellow flowers and sweets ready to be blessed.
Tell us the number of students if it is a group puja.
