Rangapanchami is celebrated on the fifth day (Panchami) of the Krishna Paksha (waning phase) in the month of Phalguna, just after Holi.
It marks the conclusion of Holi festivities.
"Ranga" means colors, and "Panchami" is the fifth day.
Devotees play with colors, sing devotional songs, and express joy and togetherness.
In many places, it is a spiritual version of Holi, symbolizing the victory of good over evil and devotion to God.
Traditionally associated with Radha-Krishna Leela and bhakti-based celebrations.
In Madhwa Sampradaya, Rangapanchami is more of a social celebration with devotional gatherings, rather than a strict religious observance.
