It is celebrated by the people of Uttar Pradesh even now for fifteen days till Dolepurnima (full moon) comes.The time fixed for the celebration of this festival is long period. This period begins from the month of Magha and ends in the Phalgun. The day fixed for the Puja is the fifth day of the full moon. Hence this festival is also called Sripanchami Festival.It is natural to ask why this festival is observed at such a time. The answer is plain. The people of India, in general, ignorant of royal grandeur. They have a little knowledge of the world. Their knowledge is limited to their native village. being happy with the good harvest of late winter, they find good opportunities to thank God. This they do in the form of the worship of the Goddess-one of the consorts of God.special features of the festival is that people give up totally the work of reading and writing on the day of Puja.
