Why is Vasant Panchami on Wed 1 Feb in Diffa?
Vasant Panchami is on Wed 1 Feb: Panchami holds all of purvahna that morning, and no other.
Panchami holds all of purvahna, 06:36–12:23. Panchami: 23:11 Tue to 21:50.
Panchami ended at 21:50 Wed; purvahna is Shashthi.
One row per day, on one clock (UTC+1). 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 23:11 on Tue 31 Jan to 21:50 on Wed 1 Feb, so only Wednesday’s purvahna (06:36–12:23) falls within it. No text giving Vasant Panchami’s time was found; purvahna is Tithika’s convention.
