Vasant Panchami History

According to Hindu beliefs, Kalidasa, grieved by his wife's departure, decided to commit suicide by drowning himself in a river. He was ready to do so when the goddess Saraswati appeared from the lake and invited Kalidasa to take a bath with it. His life changed after that, when he was blessed with wisdom and became a renowned poet.
