[Yogesh]

सरस्वति महाभागे विद्ये कमललोचने।
विद्यारूपे विशालाक्षि विद्यां देहि नमोऽस्तु ते।।

|| वसंतपञ्चमी उत्सवस्य शुभाशयाः ।|

Very happy Basant Panchami to all our FM members. I have always been fascinated by all the festivals and always enjoyed taking part in them. Can I please request FM's to tell us the significance and background of this festival as I have not heard of this special day before.

A very Happy Happy Vasant Panchami to All. This is a Saraswati Puja for us Bengalis and celebrated as goddess of knowledge and music. As I crave for both, I am very much touched with this festival. We offer Pushpanjali in the early morning with upvass (empty stomach). Celebrated as in almost all households, schools and colleges in Bengal, this is also a bengali's valentines day. Here is a photo from my home

Very nice. So, that is the reason for the Sitar. I normally discuss festivals and it's significance with a colleague of mine. Today, he did not bring up this festival. Thanks for the information.
