History of Basant Panchami?
As per Hindu mythology, the world’s creator Brahma desired to view the cosmos with his own eyes one day. On the other hand, Brahma was deeply dissatisfied by the silence and loneliness of the earth. Brahma used his abilities to create an angel with a harp in her hands and asked her to perform something to break the stillness on the planet. With her wonderful voice, the angel delighted humans on Earth. The angel then came to be known as Saraswati or Veena Vadini.
