Śripañcami

By Swami Harshananda

Śripañcamī is one of the minor festivals. It is observed on the Mārgaśira-śukla-pañcamī day.^[1] It is a sacred day dedicated to Śrī or Lakṣmī worship. The worship is offered to a metallic or clay image or even to a picture. Honoring chaste married women and donating a cow to a worthy person are recommended. The worship may also be carried on for one full year, observing it as a vrata^[2] on the śukla-pañcamī every lunar month.
