📜 How this date was determined
Panchami runs 31 Jan 2028 07:15 to 01 Feb 2028 09:28, spanning two days. Dharma Sindhu: “पंचमी शुक्लपक्षे कृष्णपक्षे च कर्ममात्रेऽपि चतुर्थीविद्धा ग्राह्या” — Panchami, in either paksha and for any rite, is taken chaturthi-viddha — the day it is joined with the preceding Chaturthi. That is 31 Jan 2028, taken over 01 Feb 2028 which the kaal test alone would give.
Computed by Trikaal Vaani from Swiss Ephemeris and the classical nirnaya rules — Nirnaya Sindhu, Dharma Sindhu, and the Report of the Calendar Reform Committee. Not copied from another calendar.
