Vasantha Panchami !!

Vasanta Panchami  is 'Spring' season  also known as Magh Shukla Panchami.   It is believed that Lord Shiva was burnt Lord Kamadeva into ashes on this day.  Lord Shiva personified as Lord Dakshinamurthi and underwent severe penance, abstaining from his duty as the destroyer of Sins.  Thus, the entire Universe was accumulated with the sinners, the deities were extremely anxious about Lord Shiva's deep meditation.   In the meantime, demon Tharakasura meditated upon Lord Brahma and received various boons.   Immediately after obtaining the boon, Tharakasura started harassing the sages and deities with his demonic power.  It was quite evident that Tharakasura could be killed only by the son of Lord Shiva.  In order to get back Lord Shiva from his severe penance, Lord Kamadeva played a trick.   At the end, Lord Kamadeva was burnt by Lord Dakshinamurty.
