Vasant Panchami: Spring Festival

Vasant Panchami, also called Saraswati Puja, heralds the arrival of spring (vasant ritu) in the Hindu calendar. Falling in late January or February, the festival is dominated by the color yellow, symbolizing the mustard fields in full bloom and the warmth of returning sunshine. It is especially significant for students, artists, and musicians who seek Saraswati's blessings for wisdom and creativity.
