*Today is Vasantha Panchami*
Vasantha Panchami, also called Sri Panchami is a festival that is celebrated every year on the fifth day of the bright half of the Hindu lunisolar calendar month of Magha, which typically falls in late January or February. It marks the preparation for the arrival of spring: about fifty five days before spring ( as per our Panchangams) or 40 days before spring in other almanacs. The festival is celebrated by people in the Indian subcontinent in various ways depending on the region.
For many, Vasant Panchami is the festival dedicated to the worship of goddess Saraswati who is the goddess of knowledge, language, music and all arts. She symbolizes creative energy and power in all its form, including longing and love. It also marks the start of preparation for Holika and Holi, which occur forty days later
