History of Basant Panchami?

As per Hindu mythology, one day Brahma, who is said to be the creator of the world, wanted to see this universe with his own eye. However, Brahma was completely disappointed with the silence and loneliness of the earth. In order to reduce the silence from Earth, Brahma created an angel with his powers who had a harp in her hands, and Brahma requested her to play something. The angel blessed people on earth with her soulful voice. The angel then came to be known as Saraswati or Veena Vadini.

But, when the time came to produce the evidence related to the case, it was found that the police had no evidence with them because a monkey had stolen it from them.

In the court, the police said that the knife, which was the primary evidence, was also taken by the monkey. The cops informed that the evidence of the case was kept in a bag, which was being taken to the court.

The evidence bag contained the knife and 15 other important evidences. However, due to the lack of space in the malkhana, a bag full of evidence was kept under a tree, which led to the incident.
