Vasant Panchami, Saraswati Puja or the Basant Festival of Kites marks the beginning of Holi, the holy season for both Sikh and Hindu faiths. The signature color of this event is yellow, and it is one of two spring festivals in the Hindu faith. This festival pays tribute to Maa Saraswati, the goddess of learning, wisdom, knowledge, fine arts, refinement, science and technology and occurs 40 days prior to Holi. Vasant Panchami is a popular celebration for tourists with its animated display of children flying kites.
PLEASE NOTE:
We use the Indian Civil Calendar, which is the official holiday calendar in India, the largest Hindu nation. 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, as well as the corresponding dates in the Gregorian Calendar, vary widely from one calendar to the next. Use our dates as a baseline. Find out which of the dozens of Hindu calendars is used in the region you live or plan to visit if you are looking to attend or witness a specific observance.
