• Afterwards, apply a Tika of sandalwood and light some incense sticks as its aroma removes the tints of negative energy present in the atmosphere and increases one’s concentration powers.
• Put some Itra(perfume) of Harsingar (night jasmine) in pure ghee and light it. It is said that the perfume lamp of Harsingar Itra balances the whole environment, and the pure ghee lamp pacifies the planet Venus and increases its auspiciousness. Consequently, the native’s physical and mental development takes place. Not only this, it improves one’s economic situation and relations with other people.

Vasant Panchami and the Colour Yellow!!

It has been believed that the colour yellow has a special importance when it comes to Vasant Panchami. You might have come across many instances when many folks wear yellow coloured clothes on this day. The colour yellow is considered to be an epitome of Vaishnavism and knowledge. Apart from this, it is also believed to possess some Sattvic undercurrents. Not only this, the same yellow color also represents the horizon in the five basic elements. The usage of this colour makes an individual prudent and generous. At the same time, if we talk about modern Vastu Shastra, then the colour yellow helps one to overcome health problems like Cough, cold, liver disorders, jaundice gas, swelling and many more. It is also possible to treat serious diseases with the proper usage of a yellow object or cloth and with the proper advice of experts. Above everything, the colour yellow is quite dear to the Goddess of Knowledge, Maa Saraswati. Considering this relevant reason and the numerous others mentioned above, it can be understood why this colour is used extensively on the day of Vasant Panchami or Saraswati Puja.

Appease Lord Jupiter on Vasant Panchami

The festival of Vasant Panchami is considered to be quite auspicious to pacify the planet Jupiter. As per the Vedic astrology, the colour yellow stands for the planet “Guru” or Jupiter. Astrology gives Jupiter the title of Guru or mentor. On the other hand, the planet Jupiter being negatively placed  in astrology suggests a dull life, quarrelsome environment, wastage of money. Beliefs state that if an inflicted native offers prayers to Goddess Saraswati and Lord Vishnu with a devoted heart and mind, then his/her troubles come to an end and he/she also gains a considerable amount of gains.
