About Vasant Panchami
Vasant Panchami welcomes spring on the fifth day of the bright fortnight of Magha. It is the day of Saraswati, the goddess of learning and the arts, and it is considered supremely auspicious to begin studies, music or any craft.
Yellow is the colour of the day — mustard fields are in bloom, and families dress in yellow and offer yellow sweets like boondi and kesar rice. Schools and colleges across India hold Saraswati puja, and many families perform the first writing ceremony for young children.
