About Vasant Panchami
Vasant Panchami welcomes spring on the fifth day of the bright fortnight of Magha. It is the day of Saraswati, the goddess of learning and the arts, and it is considered supremely auspicious to begin studies, music or any craft.
Yellow is the colour of the day — mustard fields are in bloom, and families dress in yellow and offer yellow sweets like boondi and kesar rice. Schools and colleges across India hold Saraswati puja, and many families perform the first writing ceremony for young children.

Methodology and reference
Dates on this page are computed astronomically — sidereal solar and lunar longitudes with the Lahiri (Chitrapaksha) ayanamsa — and dated by the classical rules of Dharmasindhu and Muhurta Chintamani (Udaya Tithi, Pradosh-vyapini and Aparahna conventions as applicable). Every value is regression-checked against Rashtriya Panchang, the official almanac compiled by Positional Astronomy Centre, IMD (Government of India) in Kolkata; the full method is described on the about page.
