Vasant Panchami Saraswati Puja muhurat: what time?
Why is Vasant Panchami on Fri 27 Jan in Olean?
Vasant Panchami is on Fri 27 Jan: Panchami holds all of purvahna that morning, and no other.
Panchami holds all of purvahna, 07:31–12:26. Panchami: 03:17 to 05:00 Sat.
Panchami ended at 05:00; purvahna is Shashthi. Panchami: 03:17 Fri to 05:00.
One row per day, on one clock (UTC−5). 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 03:17 on Fri 27 Jan to 05:00 on Sat 28 Jan, so only Friday’s purvahna (07:31–12:26) falls within it. No text giving Vasant Panchami’s time was found; purvahna is Tithika’s convention.
