Vasant Panchami or Basant Panchami marks the beginning of the transition period from winter to spring. After Makar Sankranti (January 14-15), the sun gradually starts its northward journey from the tropic of Capricorn as winter gradually fades away, leading to warmer days. A pleasant change in season heralds the arrival of spring, as the subcontinent heaves a sigh of relief from the severe winter. After this transition period of around 30 days, starting from Vasant Panchami, spring comes into full bloom around the time of Holi. Vasant Panchami falls on the fifth day of the bright lunar fortnight ( Sukla Paksha) of the month of Magha in the Indian lunisolar calendar. This corresponds to the months of January and February in the Gregorian calendar. Association with goddess trinity Vasant Panchami is of great significance in this land. In ancient times, Vasant Panchami was also the festival of the river Saraswati. In many parts of India, this festival is known as Saraswati puja, a day to propitiate Goddess Saraswati. Saraswati pujas are conducted in houses while the Saraswati temples are decorated and thronged by devotees. In south India, it is celebrated as Sri Panchami, Sri being one of the names of Goddess Lakshmi. Vasant Panchami is also the day when Goddess Parvati sent Kama Deva to disturb Lord Shiva’s penance. This festival of Vasant Panchami is thus associated with all the three goddesses in the Hindu trinity. In other words, it is a day that celebrates knowledge, pro...

The religious festival falls on the fifth day of the Hindu lunar month of Magha. It marks the beginning of the end of winter and the coming of spring. Celebrations of Vasant Panchami revolve around the Hindu Goddess Sarasvati — the goddess of all knowledge and intellect — ‘Sarasvati Puja.’ Different facets of crafts, skills, and learning are owed to her. Her persona is described in Hindu lore as wise and calm. Pakistanis refer to the holiday as ‘Basant Panchami.’ Depictions of Sarasvati vary, however, she is mostly depicted in pictures as wearing white clothing and sitting on a huge lotus flower or a peacock. Sarasvati has four hands, symbolizing wisdom, mind, alertness, and ego, respectively. Some variations show her carrying scriptures and the lotus flower in two of her hands while playing the ‘sitar’ instrument with the other two hands. Instead of sitting on a lotus, she rides on a white swan. Sarasvati stands for all things good and pure, and her throne, be it a lotus...

1) Vasant Panchami highlights the coming of spring Vasant Panchami ( vasant meaning “spring” and panchami meaning “fifth”) is a festival that falls on the fifth day of the Hindu lunar month of Magha (January-February in the Western calendar) marking the beginning of winter’s end and the coming of spring. Known in India as the “king of all seasons,” spring not only brings warm relief from the cold of winter, but it is also the time when the mustard crop blooms flowers of yellow, a color that symbolizes knowledge, light, energy, prosperity, and peace. It is thus considered an auspicious time to begin new ventures, like getting married, buying a house, or starting a job. 2) Goddess Saraswati is worshipped on this day Vasant Panchami is also celebrated as the birthday of the Goddess Saraswati (the goddess of knowledge, wisdom, learning, and art), and commemorates the time she is said to have blessed the great Sanskrit poet Kalidasa, who is believed to have lived sometime during the 4th-5th century CE. According to legend, there was an extraordinarily intelligent princess named Vidyottama who had defeated many prominent scholars in debate. When it was time for her to marry, she declared she would only do so with the person who was smarter than her. A group of pandits, who had found her to be overly arrogant, however, decided they would teach her a lesson by tricking her into marrying a fool instead. One day they came across a man named Kalidasa who was cutting the same branch h...
