Continuing the festivities during this period, we wish you all a very happy and auspicious Rishi Panchami.
We also wish a very happy Nuakhai Juhar which is a harvest festival celebrated in part of Orissa to welcome new rice season.
Rishi Panchami is the festival which is celebrated to honour the great deeds of Saptarishi who were the ancient sages. The word ‘Sapta’ means seven and the word ‘Rishi’ means sage thus, the word ‘Saptarishi’ literally translate to Seven Sages.
