Vasant Panchami Saraswati Puja muhurat: what time?
Why is Vasant Panchami on Fri 12 Feb in Olean?
Vasant Panchami is on Fri 12 Feb: Panchami holds all of purvahna that morning, and no other.
Purvahna is Chaturthi; Panchami begins at 22:47.
Panchami holds all of purvahna, 07:14–12:28. Panchami: 22:47 Thu to 20:10.
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 22:47 on Thu 11 Feb to 20:10 on Fri 12 Feb, so only Friday’s purvahna (07:14–12:28) falls within it. No text giving Vasant Panchami’s time was found; purvahna is Tithika’s convention.
