Vasant Panchami is not just about welcoming spring, it is also about honouring Saraswati, the Goddess of wisdom, music and art. And that is exactly why most people dress up in yellow on this day.
The colour symbolises freshness and new beginnings, making it a go-to shade for the day. While most of us instantly think of simple yellow saris and kurtas, celebrities are proving that this sacred colour can be styled in modish ways too.
Vasant Panchami 2026 is all about wearing yellow with an edge. Here are celeb-approved ways to upgrade your festive look and get the best Instagram clicks!
