During the Magha month, the fields are filled with yellow mustard flowers which are associated with the favourite colour of the Goddess Saraswati. For a similar reason, people dress in yellow-coloured sarees, shirts and accessories, and prepare yellow-coloured snacks and sweets. The most common food item prepared during the festival is yellow-coloured rice.
