Vasant Panchami (also called Saraswati Puja) is dedicated to Goddess Saraswati, the Hindu deity of knowledge, music, arts, and wisdom. The festival marks the arrival of spring and is especially important for students, artists, and scholars. Lakshmi is worshipped during Diwali, Durga during Durga Puja, and Gauri is a form of Parvati, not directly associated with Vasant Panchami.
