Vasant Panchami

Basant Panchami 2014 will be celebrated on February 4 with full fervour and enthusiasm across the India.
 
Vasant Panchami, sometimes referred to as Saraswati Puja, Shree Panchami, or the Basant Festival of Kites is a Sikh and Hindu festival held on the fifth day of Magha (in early February).

The Basant Panchami also marks the start of spring and the Holi season. On this day Hindus worship Saraswati Devi, the goddess of knowledge, music, art and culture.

For Sikhs, in the Harmandir Sahib, Amritsar, on the day of Vasant Panchmi, musicians start the music by singing Basant Raga. This practice continues up until the first day of Vaisakh when Basant Rag is no longer used
Vasant Panchami is the first and more minor of two spring-themed festivals in Hindu culture. Vasant Panchami initiates the spring festive cycle and heralds its summation that occurs with Holi.

In modern times, however, Vasant Panchami day is more commonly associated with Maa Saraswati, the goddess of learning, wisdom, knowledge, fine arts, refinement, science and technology. The Goddess Saraswati is worshipped and the day is treated by celebrants as Saraswati's birthday. People worship Goddess Saraswati to attain enlightenment through knowledge and to rid themselves of lethargy, sluggishness and ignorance
With the enormous inventions in the telecommunication sector and huge increase in the Internet users, every festival is being celebrated on mobile phones and online.

People use Emails, e-cards, e-greetings, SMSes, wallpapers, quotes to celebrate the festivals. Whereas it is cheap, it exchanges any message in no time. So, Basant panchami or Saraswati Puja will also be celebrated on internet. Here are few Basant Panchami SMSes, wallpapers, e-cards for Sahara Samay viewers.
