Women celebrating Rishi Panchami at home.

A day to honor ancient sages is Rishi Panchami

Where women devote and fast

To purify their bodies and souls

Allowing themselves to free

From the sins of past and present lives

A group of women gather to worship at their home

Where the priest conducts the ritual

Placing the image of seven sages at the center

Pouring pure water and panchamrit over the image

While putting tika (red color) using sandalwood

Offering white clothes, fruits and sweets

And lighting up the incense

Wishing women to be free from sins
