Rishi Panchami is a female fasting day in the Hindu faith designed to purify a woman.
Hinduism considers menstruation unclean, and women during their monthly cycle are not permitted to enter the kitchen to cook, participate in religious activities or even touch family members. If a woman fails to follow these rules at any time, she creates an unpure state called Rajaswala Dosha. This fasting day atones for this unpure state, thus allowing her to become pure again.
Rishi Panchami always comes two days after Hartalika Teej (a day for the celebration of matrimony) and a day after Ganesh Chaturthi, the birthday of Lord Ganesh. It falls in August or September.
PLEASE NOTE:
We use the Indian civil calendar, the official holiday calendar in India. The Hindu faith has many calendars, each specific to different regions and tribes, with dates and celebrations marked by differing positions of the sun, moon, and stars. Names of months and holidays and the corresponding dates in the Gregorian Calendar may vary widely from one calendar to the next. Determine the proper calendar before attending local events.
