The festival of Vasant Panchami also spelt as Basant Panchami or the day to worship Goddess Saraswati is celebrated to welcome Vasant or the Spring season.
Many stories are associated with this festival.
One of them is the story of the worship of the God of Love- 'Kamdev'. To celebrate the piousness of love between Radha and Krishna.
The era of iconic figure 'Amir Khusroo' in the cultural history of the Indian subcontinent has also celebrated this festival with great fervour and festivity.
Wearing yellow colour clothes and making yellow colour dishes like the 'Kesari Kheer' on this occasion has been an age-old ritual.
Yellow is truly a joyous and a radiant colour. It stands for freshness, energy, optimism and positivity. It signifies the beauty of nature and the vibrancy of life.
During the Vasant Panchami festival the yellow colour mustard flowers bloom in the fields across the country.
On this day the Goddess of knowledge, intellect and learning 'Goddess Sarsawati' is worshipped to seek her blessings.
Students worship her with a committed promise to be a more dedicated and a disciplined student.
The whole country gets immersed in the yellow colour of Vasant and celebrates this joyful festival in great numbers.
Let us welcome this year with happiness in our hearts and prayers for the welfare of humanity.
When the whole nation celebrates this vibrant festival, let us wish for our national development and progress with global peace and prosperity.
