Happy Vasant Panchami

  •  Vasant Panchami, also called (Saraswati Puja) is a festival that marks the preparation for the arrival of spring.
  • Vasant Panchami is celebrated every year on the fifth day of the bright half of the Hindu lunisolar calendar month of Magha.
  • The festival is also referred to as Saraswati Puja in many parts of the country and involves worshipping Goddess Saraswati.
  •  People dress in yellow, as the colour is considered auspicious and also represents the mustard fields of Punjab and Haryana.
  •  As Saraswati is worshipped as the goddess of knowledge, wisdom, art and culture, children are encouraged to write their first words in front of her idol, to seek her blessings.
