Women celebrating Rishi Panchami at home.
Rishi Panchami
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
Excellent.. love the poem ..
