Some Hindus worship the goddess, while others view her as symbolic. Saraswati is the goddess of knowlege, music, the arts, etc. It depends on the belief of the person, but the majority view this as symbolic.

Basant Panchami is the festival. On that day, Goddess Saraswati was born and Hindus worship Goddess Saraswati that day. Goddess Saraswati symbolizes the constant flow of wisdom and knowledge. People worship Maa Sarswati to enlighten their knowledge and to get rid from sluggishness.
