As this day marks the end of Winter and beginning of Spring, it is believed that these foods improve the immune system, protecting people against seasonal changes. Students offer fervent prayers requesting the Goddess to bless them with knowledge and wisdom. To the seeker of knowledge, there is no end to learning. This Vasant Panchami, may the light of knowledge illuminate our path.
या देवी सर्वभूतेषु विद्यारूपेण संस्थिता।

Ya Devi sarvabhuteshu Vidya-rupena sansthita,
Namas-tasyai namas-tasyai namas-tasyai namo namah.
