What is Vasant Panchami?
Vasant Panchami is dedicated to Goddess Saraswati, the goddess of knowledge, music and the arts. Drik Panchang notes that it is also called Shri Panchami and Saraswati Panchami. People worship Saraswati to be blessed with knowledge and free of lethargy and ignorance, and schools and colleges hold pujas in the morning.
Beginning a child's education
Drik Panchang describes the custom of starting a child's education on Vasant Panchami, known as Akshar-Abhyasam, Vidya-Arambham or Praasana. Many astrologers treat the whole day as an abujh (self-auspicious) day, suitable for beginning good work without a separate muhurat.
How the day is decided
Vasant Panchami is kept on the day Panchami prevails during purvahna, the time between sunrise and midday, so it can fall on Chaturthi. Drik Panchang advises doing the Saraswati Puja while Panchami prevails, preferably in the forenoon. Take the tithi window for your city from a local panchang.
