Wish your loved ones a happy Vasant Panchami with these greetings and messages. (Designed by Nidhi Mishra)

Vasant Panchami, as the name suggests, marks the onset of spring. It is celebrated all over India with people worshipping Maa Saraswati, who is known as the goddess of knowledge and wisdom. The festival is celebrated by Hindus, who visit temples and observe the day as Saraswati Puja.

In West Bengal, people dress up in yellow to take part in the day’s festivities. Students in schools and colleges celebrate this day as well and in many places, books and pens are also worshipped. This year the festival falls on January 22. The celebration of Vasant Panchami can be traced back to Dwapara yuga. According to scriptures like Srimad Bhagwatam and other Vaishnava scriptures, the transcendental Vasant ras lila had taken place on this night on the Govardhan hill. The place, later, came to be known as Chandra sarovar. It is also mentioned in the scriptures that Lord Chandradev stood still for one night of Brahma to look at this divine dance of Sri Krishna and his beloved gopis, headed by Srimati Radharani.
