Vasant Panchami is celebrated every on the fifth day of the bright half of the Hindu month of Magha. Vasant Panchami is the first and most minor of two spring-themed festival in Hindu culture. Vasant Panchami initiates the spring festive cycle and herald its summation that occurs with Holi. The 40-day period between Vasant Panchami and Holi corresponds with the 40-days of Rati's penance after her husband Kamadeva was reduce to ashes for shooting the eye of Lord Shiva with his love arrows. Vasant Panchami is treated by celebrants as Goddess Saraswati's birthday. People worship Goddess Saraswati to attain enlightenment through knowledge and to rid themselves of lethargy sluggishness and ignorance.
