When is Vasant Panchami 1961 in Pāthardi?
Vasant Panchami Saraswati Puja muhurat: what time?
Why is Vasant Panchami on Sat 21 Jan in Pāthardi?
Vasant Panchami is on Sat 21 Jan: Panchami touches purvahna that morning, and no other.
Purvahna is Chaturthi; Panchami begins at 13:40. Panchami: 13:40 to 11:37 Sat.
Panchami holds purvahna only until 11:37; then Shashthi. Panchami: 13:40 Fri to 11:37.
One row per day, on one clock (IST). Band: the tithi. Box: Purvahna. Light strip: day; dark strip: night. Sun: sunrise.
Saraswati Puja is done in purvahna, the first half of the day. Panchami runs from 13:40 on Fri 20 Jan to 11:37 on Sat 21 Jan, so it touches only Saturday’s purvahna (07:05–12:40). No text giving Vasant Panchami’s time was found; purvahna is Tithika’s convention.
