Rishi Panchami Date: Thursday, 28 August 2025
In Hindu religion, the importance of Rishi Panchami fast is to be free from all the sins. It`s actually a fast rather than a festival and in this fasting, people worship saptrishi`s. In Hinduism, during menstruation, many rules are followed by women. If any woman unknowingly makes any mistake during this time, then she performs the Rishi Panchami fast to be free from all the sins.
The names of Sapt-Rishi rishis`s are as follows:
Kashyap, Atri, Bhardwaj, Vishwamitra, Gautama, Jamadagni, Vashistha
Rishi Panchami fast is observed on the day of Shukla Panchami in the (panchang) month of Bhadrapada. Generally, this fast falls in the month of August or September. This fast occurs on the next day of Ganesh Chaturthi in the month of August or September.

ऋषि पंचमी व्रत का महत्व हिन्दू धर्म में दोषों से मुक्त होने के लिए किया जाता हैं। यह एक त्यौहार नहीं अपितु एक व्रत हैं, इस व्रत में सप्त-ऋषियों की पूजा-अर्चना की जाती हैं।
Importance of Rishi Panchami
Women often observe a fast on this day to honor the Saptarishis (seven great sages) and seek their blessings. It is believed that this fast helps in reducing various menstrual related problems and promotes overall well-being. It is believed that taking a dip in the river Ganga on this day frees one from sins and provides spiritual benefits. For those who cannot go to Ganga, there is a practice of adding a few drops of Ganga water to bathing water at home.
