The tradition names no separate muhurat for this festival — it is observed through the day. Abhijit is the day’s generally auspicious window and Rahu Kaal the one to avoid.
Vasant Panchami greets the arrival of spring and is dedicated to Saraswati, goddess of learning, music and speech. It falls on the fifth day of the waxing moon in Magha, when the mustard fields of north India turn yellow.
Devotees wear yellow, place books and instruments before Saraswati for blessing, and traditionally start young children on their first letters — the day is considered an auspicious one to begin any education.
