Explanation

Vasant Panchami is dedicated to Goddess Saraswati, the Hindu deity of knowledge, music, arts, and wisdom. The festival marks the beginning of the spring season (Vasant Ritu) and is celebrated by wearing yellow clothes, offering prayers to Saraswati, and initiating children into learning. Lord Shiva is worshipped on Mahashivratri, Indra is the Vedic god of rain, and Pavan Dev is associated with wind - none are connected to Vasant Panchami.
