What is the relation of Vasant Panchami with Goddess Saraswati?
Tomorrow is Vasant Panchami and my Bengali friends shall be celebrating Saraswati Puja. I wanted to know if the worship of Saraswati is mentioned in any scripture on this particular day.

Vasant Panchami is the day Magha Shukla Panchami.
From Wikipedia:
Vasant Panchami has a specific meaning: Vasant means "spring" and
Panchami means "the fifth day." Vasant Panchami falls on the fifth day
of spring.
Vasant Panchami is celebrated every year on the fifth day of the bright half of the Hindu luni-solar calendar month of Magha, which
typically falls in late January or February.
You can get a scriptural reference in the Brahma Vaivarta Purana.
Quoting from the Essence of Brahma Vaivarta Purana:
Having described that Durga, Radha, Lakshmi, Saraswati and Savitri
were the Pancha Prakritis, Narayana Maharshi told Narada Muni that
Shri Krishna performed worship to Prakritis Amshabhuta Kala Swarupa
Devis viz. Vaani, Vasundhara, Ganga, Shashthi, Mangala Chandika,
Tulasi, Manasa, Nidra, Swadha, Swaahaa and Dakshina. Shri Krishna said
that in terms of Teja (Radiance), Rupa (Form) and Gunas (Features),
these Eleven Devis were as significant as his own. As the details of
worship of Durga, Radha and Lakshmi would be taken up later, Narayana
Rishi desired to describe the Puja Vidhana of Devi Saraswati first.
Devi Saraswatis worship is the most auspicious on Megha Shukla Panchami as ordained by Shri Krishna when all over the Universe the
Puja as also Vidyaarambha ( initiation of Studies) is performed by
human beings, Manuganas, Devatas, Muniganas, Vasus, Yogis, Siddhas,
Nagas, Gandharvas and Rakshasas with the traditional Shodashopacharas
by invoking Saraswati into a Kalasha or a Book. Then puja should be
done to six Devatas viz. Ganesha, Surya, Agni, Vishnu, Shiva, and Devi
Parvati before performing Puja to Devi Saraswati.

Actually its Sri Panchami. And Sri is Kukakundalini who expresses Herself as Vaikahari or Vaak. May be there is some link of this with Saraswati Puja prescribed on this day?

Feb 9 at 16:15
between sri and saraswati as the tithi is called Sri Panchami even at the time of Sankalpa
– Pratimaputra

Ok Sri Vidya has 3 kootas with one being the Vag bhava so there is a connection .. Saraswati is also Lalita's one eye and she is also showing as serving her with a fan @Partha
