In Hindu religion, the importance of Rishi Panchami fast is to be free from all the sins. It`s actually a fast rather than a festival and in this fasting, people worship saptrishi`s. In Hinduism, during menstruation, many rules are followed by women. If any woman unknowingly makes any mistake during this time, then she performs the Rishi Panchami fast to be free from all the sins.
The names of Sapt-Rishi rishis`s are as follows:
Kashyap, Atri, Bhardwaj, Vishwamitra, Gautama, Jamadagni, Vashistha
Rishi Panchami fast is observed on the day of Shukla Panchami in the (panchang) month of Bhadrapada. Generally, this fast falls in the month of August or September. This fast occurs on the next day of Ganesh Chaturthi in the month of August or September.

दहन्तु पापं मे सर्वं गृह्नणन्त्वर्घ्यं नमो नमः ॥
