Vasant Panchami Saraswati Puja muhurat: what time?
Why is Vasant Panchami on Sat 28 Jan in Pāthardi?
Vasant Panchami is on Sat 28 Jan: Panchami holds all of purvahna that morning, and no other.
Purvahna is Chaturthi; Panchami begins at 13:47. Panchami: 13:47 to 15:30 Sat.
Panchami holds all of purvahna, 07:04–12:42. Panchami: 13:47 Fri to 15:30.
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 13:47 on Fri 27 Jan to 15:30 on Sat 28 Jan, so only Saturday’s purvahna (07:04–12:42) falls within it. No text giving Vasant Panchami’s time was found; purvahna is Tithika’s convention.
