Basant Panchami marks the beginning of spring, a season symbolizing renewal, rebirth, and the blossoming of life. On this day, pilgrims wear yellow to celebrate the beauty of nature and the bounty of the earth. Taking a holy dip in the Sangam is believed to invite prosperity, cleanse one’s sins, and imbue the soul with the blessings of new beginnings. The waters are thought to be especially blessed, offering spiritual rejuvenation and divine favor.
