Vasant Panchami, also known as Basant Panchami, signifies the start of the winter-to-spring shift. Warmer days follow Makar Sankranti (January 14–15), when the sun begins to slowly move northward from the tropic of Capricorn as winter gradually ends. A welcome shift in temperature signals the approach of spring, with the subcontinent breathing a sigh of relief from the harsh winter. Around the time of Holi, after this roughly 30-day period of change beginning with Vasant Panchami, spring truly blossoms.
In the Indian lunisolar calendar, Vasant Panchami occurs on the fifth day of the brilliant lunar fortnight (Sukla Paksha) in the month of Magha. This is equivalent to the Gregorian months of January and February.

Relationship to the goddess Trinity
This region holds immense significance for Vasant Panchami. The festival of the Saraswati River was also observed on Vasant Panchami in the past. This celebration, which honors Goddess Saraswati, is called Saraswati puja in several regions of India. While Saraswati temples are adorned and crowded with devotees, Saraswati pujas are performed in homes. Since one of the names of the goddess Lakshmi is Sri, it is observed as Sri Panchami in southern India. Additionally, on the day of Vasant Panchami, Goddess Parvati sent To upset Lord Shiva’s penance is Kama Deva. Thus, the three goddesses of the Hindu trinity are linked to this festival of Vasant Panchami. Put another way, it’s a day to honor learning, wealth, and inventiveness.
