Basant Panchami

Basant Panchami — the beautiful day that heralds the beginning of springtime, the return of warmth, light and the colorful blossoms of flowers. . . Also the day of worship of Goddess Saraswati, the bestower of true knowledge and wisdom. What a joy to have a beautiful sunny day to celebrate after so many days of pouring rain, and a beautiful see-off from Maa Ganga before a short trip to the US.
