Why Women Observe Rishi Panchami Vrat:
Rishi Panchami Vrat is related to menstrual health. In Hinduism, women are traditionally restricted from performing religious activities during their menstrual period. It is believed that observing the Rishi Panchami Vrat and worshiping the Saptarishi can absolve any religious transgressions or inadvertent mistakes made during menstruation.
How to Perform Rishi Panchami Puja:
On this day, take a bath in the morning and create a square mandala with Haridra (turmeric) and other substances at a clean spot in your home. Install the images of the Saptarishi on it and perform the worship with offerings of sandalwood paste, flowers, incense, lamps, and food. Afterward, consume vegetables that have not been cultivated (wild vegetables) and observe the fast with Brahmacharya (celibacy). In the seventh year, create golden idols of the Saptarishi and perform the ritual with a Kalash (sacred pot), conduct the Puja, offer seven donations of cows, and provide meals to seven pairs of Brahmins, then perform their immersion.
