Vasant Panchami 2027: Date and Saraswati Puja Muhurat

Facts checked November 2026.

Vasant Panchami is traditionally the day of Goddess Saraswati and the welcome of spring. Many students, teachers, musicians and artists pray for learning on this day. Here is the exact Saraswati Puja time for 2027 and a simple way to do the puja at home. All times are for New Delhi in Indian Standard Time (IST), as given by Drik Panchang. In other cities the times can differ by a few minutes; times that depend on sunrise or sunset can differ more.

When is Vasant Panchami 2027?

Vasant Panchami 2027 falls on Thursday, 11 February 2027. The Panchami tithi of Magha Shukla Paksha begins at 03:04 AM on 11 February and ends at 03:18 AM on 12 February, so the whole daytime of 11 February is inside the tithi.

What is the Saraswati Puja muhurat on Vasant Panchami 2027?

Drik Panchang gives a long morning window for Saraswati Puja, so most families can fit the puja in before lunch.

The muhurat starts in the morning and ends at the Madhyahna moment. Because the start follows sunrise and the end follows local midday, both can shift more than a few minutes in cities far from Delhi.

What does the Madhyahna moment mean?

Madhyahna is the midday part of the day. In 2027 Drik Panchang marks the Madhyahna moment at 12:36 PM, which is also when its Saraswati Puja muhurat ends. So aim to finish the puja by then.

How do you do Saraswati Puja at home?

Many families follow simple steps like these; follow your own family custom where it differs.

1. Bathe in the morning; many families wear yellow on this day.
2. Clean the puja place and keep a picture or idol of Goddess Saraswati on a clean cloth.
3. Place books, pens, notebooks or musical instruments near the Goddess for her blessing.
4. Offer flowers (often yellow), rice (akshat) and a sweet.
5. Light a diya and incense, say a Saraswati prayer you know, and end with aarti.
6. Share the prasad with family.

Some families traditionally choose this day for a child’s first lesson of letters (vidya arambh); if you plan this, do it within the puja muhurat.
