When is Vasant Panchami 2016 in Pāthardi?
Vasant Panchami Saraswati Puja muhurat: what time?
Why is Vasant Panchami on Fri 12 Feb in Pāthardi?
Vasant Panchami is on Fri 12 Feb: Panchami touches purvahna that morning, and no other.
Chaturthi until 09:17, inside purvahna; then Panchami. Panchami: 09:17 to 06:40 Sat.
Panchami ended at 06:40; purvahna is Shashthi. Panchami: 09:17 Fri to 06:40.
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 09:17 on Fri 12 Feb to 06:40 on Sat 13 Feb, so it touches only Friday’s purvahna (06:59–12:43). No text giving Vasant Panchami’s time was found; purvahna is Tithika’s convention.

Saraswati Puja is done in purvahna, the first half of the day.
- Smarta
