Vasant Panchami 2028: Tuesday, 1 February 2028

Vasant Panchami in 2028 falls on Tuesday, 1 February 2028. It is kept on the Shukla Panchami of amanta Magha.

Why Vasant Panchami Is on 1 February in 2028

The Shukla Panchami begins at 07:15 on 31 January 2028 and ends at 09:28 on 1 February 2028. The 2028 instants are the same everywhere; only the clock they are read on changes. The rule recorded for Vasant Panchami tests the tithi at sunrise, the default test for most of the calendar.

On 1 February 2028 the Sun rises at 07:09 and sets at 17:59 at New Delhi. The Shukla Panchami is running at that sunrise, which is the test, so 1 February 2028 is the day.

In 2028 the Shukla Panchami lasts 26 hours 13 minutes, against 23 hours 18 minutes in 2026 and 24 hours 13 minutes in 2027: a tithi is twelve degrees of the Moon’s gain on the Sun, and the Moon never gains at a steady rate. The day itself runs 10 hours 50 minutes from sunrise to sunset at New Delhi.

When the Shukla Panchami begins, the Moon is in Uttara Bhadrapada, ruled by Saturn.

Vasant Panchami in 2026, 2027 and 2028

Vasant Panchami 2028 comes 10 days earlier in the calendar year than Vasant Panchami 2027. Between Vasant Panchami 2027 and Vasant Panchami 2028 the lunation table has 12 new moons, and twelve lunations fall short of a solar year, so the date moves earlier.

In the 2028 table Vasant Panchami comes 17 days after Sakat Chauth and 2 days before Ratha Saptami.

Within six days of Vasant Panchami in 2028: Ratha Saptami (3 February).
