Vasant Panchami: dates, muhurat and meaning.
The next Vasant Panchami is on Thursday, 11 February 2027. The date is computed from the classical panchang for Delhi (rule: classical festival table — tithi prevailing at local noon). Below are the Vasant Panchami dates for 2026 and 2027, the day's shubh muhurat windows, and what the festival celebrates.
Vasant Panchami dates
What is Vasant Panchami?
Vasant Panchami heralds spring and is the year's principal day for beginning education: the classical Vidyarambham rite seats a child before Saraswati to trace first letters in rice.
The day is considered abujh — auspicious in itself — in much of North India, so weddings, housewarmings and new ventures are begun on it without consulting further. Bela still shows the day's computed windows above.
Muhurat on Vasant Panchami
Vasant Panchami is one of the 'abujh' days counted auspicious on its own for starting learning and new ventures. The Abhijit Muhurat above is the peak; avoid beginning during Rahu Kaal.
