Yaeeng Saraswatyayee Namah

Vasanta Panchami, or "Vasant Panchami", is a Hindu festival celebrating Saraswati, the goddess of knowledge, music, and art. It is celebrated every year on the fifth day ('panchami'), of the brighter fortnight of the Indian month of 'Maagha' (Jan-Feb), considered to be the first day of "Vasanta" (spring).

Vasant Panchami is a festival full of religious, seasonal and social significance and is celebrated by Hindus all over the world with verve and new sense of optimism. During this festival children are taught their first words; brahmins are fed; ancestor worship (Pitri-Tarpan) is performed; the god of love, Kamadeva, is worshipped; and most educational institutions organise special prayer for Saraswati. The color yellow also plays an important role in this festival, in that people usually wear yellow garments, Saraswati is worshipped dressed in mostly yellow (but often white or cyan too), and yellow sweetmeats are consumed within the families.
