Vasant Panchami
Also known as: Saraswati Puja, Shree Panchami
Dates follow the Indian calendar (IST). If you’re outside India, your local temple may observe a day earlier or later for tithi-based festivals.
When Goddess Saraswati descends, she doesn't bring knowledge - she awakens the knowledge that already resides within you. Today, we don't worship books and instruments; we recognize them as tools for inner exploration.
