Vasant Panchami, or Basant Panchami, is the festival of the colour yellow. Vasant signifies Spring and Panchami means the fifth day, thus Vasant Panchami falls on the fifth day of spring and this year it is being celebrated on January 22, 2018.
Saraswati is the Hindu goddess of the Vasant Panchami festival and thus the day is also known as Saraswati Puja.
The yellow colour signifies the brilliance of nature and the vibrancy of life. People wear clothes of this colour on the day. Devotees keep their notebooks, pens and pencils near goddess Saraswati's feet to seek her blessings. The festival is mainly observed in the northern part of India. In the Punjab region, it is celebrated as a seasonal festival and is known as the Basant Festival of Kites.
Even as Indian wish each other on this special day, television celebrities too wished fans for a beautiful and colourful spring.
