Vasanta Panchami, A triangular manifest of inter-religious values

After a long winter in the country, it's finally a time for spring to take over. Dreary chilling winter days transition into more pleasant and smiling weather.

A warm welcome to the fifth day of the Magha month in Hindu calendar, popularly known as Saraswoti Pooja (Worship day for the goddesses of knowledge and wisdom). There are several other names for this specific day which beholds the dual importance of culture and the arrival of spring, also known as Basanta/ Vasanta Panchami which translates vasanta into spring and panchami as fifth day. This day also sets an alarm on the preparation of upcoming cultural commemorations such as Holi, shivaratri and several others.
