Worships related to Rishi Panchami.
One of the rituals of Rishi Panchami is the Rishi Panchami fast, which involves fasting and taking a bath before visiting the temples of the Sages. The Sages are lined up in a particular order, and the devotees offer them Puja one by one. The Rishi is worshipped for forgiveness of sins, and devotees must wear specific colored clothing while offering Puja.
To prepare the Puja bowl, yellow or red flowers are purchased from the market and washed with the temple’s flowing water. A beautifully painted bowl is also washed with the temple’s water and then filled with the washed flowers. This bowl is then used to offer Puja on the day of the festival.
Overall, Rishi Panchami is a significant festival that celebrates the wisdom and knowledge of the Sages in India.
