The
festival of Basant Panchami celebrates the coming of the
spring season. This festival, which also signals the end
of winter, is generally celebrated during Magh (January -
February). During this festival people worship the Goddess
Saraswati, use yellow handkerchiefs or even yellow cloths
and in a few places people put a yellow tilak on their
foreheads. This festival also marks the beginning of holi
baithaks.
