This date is computed from sidereal Sun and Moon positions (Swiss-precision Meeus ephemeris, Lahiri ayanamsa), not copied from a stored calendar. Regional almanacs that apply a different local rule can occasionally differ by one day; where a festival anchors to a specific hour, such as midnight for Janmashtami or midday for Ganesh Chaturthi, the matching classical rule is used.
Significance
Vasant Panchami opens the spring season and honors Saraswati, the deity of learning, speech, and the arts. Students traditionally begin new studies on this day, and the yellow of mustard fields becomes the festival's color.
Timing Your Observance
A festival date names the day; a muhurta names the hour. For puja timing on February 11, consult the day's panchanga: the prevailing tithi and nakshatra, the choghadiya windows, and the Rahu Kaal period to avoid. The daily panchang, choghadiya timings, and Rahu Kaal calculator cover this for your city, and the birth chart calculator shows how the day's sky sits against your own chart.
