Importance of Yellow Colour on Vasant Panchami

The yellow colour is one of the significant colours worn on Basant Panchami. In Hinduism, this colour represents Vaishnavas and knowledge. It also represents Sattva Guna. Out of the Panchtatva or Five Elements, yellow colour represents the horizon (a place where the earth and sky seem to meet), also known as Kshitij in Hindi. It is believed that the balanced combination of the five elements (Panchtatva) completes a person. The usage of yellow colour makes a person knowledgeable and wise. According to the modern Vastu Shastra, yellow colour helps to get rid of various problems like cough, cold, liver problems, indigestion, jaundice, nervous system, issues related to the gastrointestinal tract, swelling, etc. Using yellow coloured objects or wearing yellow coloured clothes, if done correctly with expert advice, helps a person to keep him/herself in a fine fettle.

According to Vedic Astrology, the yellow colour is related to the planet Jupiter. As per Lakshan Jyotish, lack of mental peace, arguments, chaotic environment, lack of respect and dignity, unnecessary expenses, etc. are indications of a malefic Jupiter. The festival of Vasant Panchami is a great opportunity to strengthen Jupiter in one’s horoscope. If the concerned person venerates Lord Vishnu and Goddess Saraswati with unwavering devotion, s/he will reap benefits out of it.
