Vasanta Pancami

Vasanta Panchami welcomes the arrival of spring, when temples traditionally dress the Deities in yellow and begin seasonal celebrations in Vraja.

Significance of this day

For Gaudiya Vaishnavas the day also carries remembrances connected with important acharyas and invites meditation on Krishna's springtime pastimes.

How it is observed at ISKCON Asansol

• Devotees offer seasonal flowers and yellow preparations, sing kirtan and hear about the day's Vaishnava significance.

Dates follow the authentic Gaudiya Vaishnava calendar observed at ISKCON Mayapur, calculated for our region. Timings for fasting and breaking the fast are announced at the temple.
