A festival we celebrate to pay homage to the goddess of knowledge, Saraswathi.
Ashrith will be going to Kindergraten this fall and taking blessings of Goddess Saraswati before begining formal school is a tradition .
Books and other educational items kept near goddess for blessings .
Children wear yellow to commemorate this day and eat yellow sweets as prasad.
The flowers offered to the Goddess must be in yellow color too. The color yellow holds a special meaning for this celebration as it signifies the brilliance of nature and the vibrancy of life.
Ashrith got to open his easel board on this auspicious day……….one of the best educational tool for a Preschooler !!
Note: Hari Temple in Harrisburg will be having Vasant Panchami Goddess Saraswati Puja at 11.15 am on Sunday ,February 24th ,2013.
