Quick Answer)<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p><strong>Vasant Panchami 2026 falls on Friday, 23 January 2026.<\/strong> It is observed on <strong>Magha Shukla Panchami<\/strong> (the fifth day of the bright fortnight in the month of Magha). Many people also call it <strong>Basant Panchami<\/strong>, <strong>Shri Panchami<\/strong>, or simply <strong>Saraswati Puja<\/strong>, especially in eastern India.<\/p>\n<p>Because it is linked to Panchami tithi, some families check their local panchang for the \u201cexact\u201d tithi window. In 2026, Panchami tithi is widely noted as starting around early morning and continuing into the next night, which is why most communities comfortably celebrate on <strong>23 January<\/strong>. If you are travelling, treat the entire day as festival time, with peak rituals happening from morning to early afternoon.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Planning note:<\/strong> Vasant Panchami happens in late January in 2026, but many travellers combine it with winter trips that extend into February. If you\u2019re building a longer festival calendar, this guide pairs well with <a href=\"https:\/\/www.easeindiatrip.com\/blog\/indian-festivals-february\/\">Indian festivals in February<\/a>.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Saraswati_Puja_Timings_2026_Shubh_Muhurat_Best_Time\"><\/span>Saraswati Puja Timings 2026 (Shubh Muhurat &amp; Best Time)<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>On Vasant Panchami, the most important thing is to perform the puja during Panchami tithi, preferably in the morning hours when the day feels fresh and sattvic. In 2026, many popular panchang sources mention a <strong>morning-to-noon Saraswati Puja window<\/strong> as the most auspicious time for prayers, offerings, and learning rituals.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Suggested Saraswati Puja Muhurat (India):<\/strong> roughly <strong>7:15 AM to 12:50 PM<\/strong> on <strong>23 January 2026<\/strong>. This timing works well for most families, schools, and community pujas, especially in North India. If you are in another city, use this as a practical guide, and confirm the exact local muhurat if your family follows strict timing.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Traveller tip:<\/strong> If you want the best festival visuals, start early. Many public celebrations (especially in Kolkata and educational campuses) begin by mid-morning, and crowds build around noon. In ghats cities like Varanasi and Prayagraj, the morning atmosphere is calmer, more photogenic, and easier to experience respectfully.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Why_Vasant_Panchami_is_Celebrated\"><\/span>Why Vasant Panchami is Celebrated?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<figure id=\"attachment_20003\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-20003\" style=\"width: 1536px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-20003 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/www.easeindiatrip.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/Why-Vasant-Panchami-is-Celebrated.webp\" alt=\"Woman painting Saraswati statue in sunlight\" width=\"1536\" height=\"1024\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.easeindiatrip.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/Why-Vasant-Panchami-is-Celebrated.webp 1536w, https:\/\/www.easeindiatrip.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/Why-Vasant-Panchami-is-Celebrated-300x200.webp 300w, https:\/\/www.easeindiatrip.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/Why-Vasant-Panchami-is-Celebrated-1024x683.webp 1024w, https:\/\/www.easeindiatrip.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/Why-Vasant-Panchami-is-Celebrated-768x512.webp 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1536px) 100vw, 1536px\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-20003\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Woman painting Saraswati statue in sunlight<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>Vasant Panchami marks the symbolic arrival of <strong>Vasant Ritu<\/strong> (spring). Across north and east India, you\u2019ll notice a shift in mood: mustard fields look brighter, flowers bloom more confidently, and the air feels less harsh than deep winter. Spiritually, the day honours <strong>Goddess Saraswati<\/strong>, the deity of knowledge, wisdom, music, art, language, and learning.<\/p>\n<p>This is why the festival is especially important for students, teachers, writers, musicians, and anyone starting a new course, creative project, or academic year. Many families place books, pens, musical instruments, and learning tools near the idol or image of Saraswati as a symbolic request for clarity and discipline.<\/p>\n<p>In some traditions, Vasant Panchami is also considered an auspicious day to start new work without heavy muhurat calculations. That\u2019s why you\u2019ll see <strong>Akshar Abhyasam<\/strong> (a child\u2019s first writing ritual), admissions, and even new business beginnings around this date.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"History_of_Vasant_Panchami\"><\/span>History of Vasant Panchami<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Historically, Vasant Panchami has long been associated with learning, culture, and renewal. In many parts of India, it was a day when scholars, poets, and teachers held special gatherings to begin new studies or share knowledge. Over centuries, the festival developed into a strong community practice, especially in regions where Saraswati Puja became central to school and college culture.<\/p>\n<p>In eastern India, particularly West Bengal, Saraswati Puja evolved into a vibrant youth festival, where educational institutions and neighbourhood groups arrange pandals, cultural programs, and immersion rituals. In north India, especially in cities like Varanasi and Prayagraj, the day remains more devotional, with emphasis on temple visits, riverfront prayers, and simple home worship.<\/p>\n<p>Today, Vasant Panchami balances tradition and modern life beautifully. Families still offer flowers and sweets, while students take photos with friends at campus pujas. That mix of devotion and joy is what makes the festival so travel-friendly: it is cultural, photogenic, and meaningful without being overwhelming.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Why_Yellow_is_Everywhere_on_Vasant_Panchami_Dress_Food_Symbolism\"><\/span>Why Yellow is Everywhere on Vasant Panchami (Dress, Food &amp; Symbolism)<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-20004\" src=\"https:\/\/www.easeindiatrip.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/Prayer-ritual-for-Goddess-Saraswati.webp\" alt=\"Vasant Panchami Prayer ritual for Goddess Saraswati\" width=\"1536\" height=\"1024\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.easeindiatrip.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/Prayer-ritual-for-Goddess-Saraswati.webp 1536w, https:\/\/www.easeindiatrip.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/Prayer-ritual-for-Goddess-Saraswati-300x200.webp 300w, https:\/\/www.easeindiatrip.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/Prayer-ritual-for-Goddess-Saraswati-1024x683.webp 1024w, https:\/\/www.easeindiatrip.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/Prayer-ritual-for-Goddess-Saraswati-768x512.webp 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1536px) 100vw, 1536px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Yellow is not just a \u201ctheme colour\u201d on Vasant Panchami. It is a symbol. In Indian culture, yellow is associated with <strong>knowledge, positivity, prosperity, and the warmth of the sun<\/strong>. It also mirrors nature at this time of year: mustard flowers, marigolds, and early spring brightness. That\u2019s why people wear yellow sarees, kurtas, dupattas, or even small yellow accessories if they don\u2019t want a full yellow outfit.<\/p>\n<p>Food traditions also reflect this colour. Many families prepare yellow offerings such as kesar rice, saffron sweets, boondi laddoos, yellow kheer, or turmeric-flavoured dishes. In some homes, the entire meal includes \u201cbasanti\u201d touches, from sweets to rice to flowers on the plate.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Simple travel advice:<\/strong> Pack one yellow outfit if you\u2019re attending a Saraswati Puja in Kolkata or on a campus in Varanasi\/Prayagraj. You\u2019ll feel more in sync with the festival and your photos will naturally match the day\u2019s vibe, without trying too hard.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Saraswati_Puja_Rituals_at_Home_A_Step-by-Step_Guide\"><\/span>Saraswati Puja Rituals at Home: A Step-by-Step Guide<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>If you\u2019re doing Saraswati Puja at home (or even in a hotel room while travelling), keep it simple and respectful. Start with a bath and wear clean clothes (yellow if possible). Clean your small prayer space and place a picture or idol of Saraswati on a clean platform. Put a white cloth or yellow cloth under the idol if available. Arrange fresh flowers, incense, and a diya.<\/p>\n<p>Now add your \u201clearning items\u201d: books, notebooks, pens, musical instruments, or art tools. The idea is symbolic: you\u2019re placing your learning and creativity under Saraswati\u2019s blessings. Offer flowers, light the diya, and do a short prayer. If you know Saraswati Vandana, chant it; otherwise, a heartfelt request for clarity and wisdom is enough.<\/p>\n<p>Finish with prasad (sweets\/fruits). Many families avoid touching books or starting regular study until after the puja, especially if they follow traditional practice. If you\u2019re travelling, you can keep it practical: do the morning puja, then head out for temple visits and festival experiences.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"What_to_Offer_in_Saraswati_Puja_Flowers_Bhog_Puja_Items_Checklist\"><\/span>What to Offer in Saraswati Puja: Flowers, Bhog &amp; Puja Items Checklist<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>One reason Saraswati Puja feels easy is that the offerings are simple and widely available. Fresh flowers are the most important: marigolds, white flowers, or seasonal blooms work well. Many devotees offer fruits like bananas, apples, and seasonal citrus. If you can, add a few yellow sweets such as boondi laddoo, kesar peda, or simple halwa.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Basic Saraswati Puja checklist:<\/strong> diya (lamp), cotton wick, ghee\/oil, incense, flowers, turmeric\/kumkum, a clean cloth, prasad items, and a small kalash (optional). For travellers, you can reduce it to flowers + diya + sweets, and it still feels complete.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Common bhog ideas:<\/strong> kheer, halwa, sweet rice, saffron milk, or plain sweets from a clean shop. In Kolkata, you\u2019ll often see offerings like khichuri, labra (mixed veg), and sweets in community pujas. In Varanasi and Prayagraj, simple sweets and fruits are common, especially for home pujas.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Reminder:<\/strong> Keep your offering clean and fresh. The festival is about purity of intention, not expensive items.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Akshar_Abhyasam_on_Vasant_Panchami_Best_Day_for_a_Childs_First_Writing\"><\/span>Akshar Abhyasam on Vasant Panchami: Best Day for a Child\u2019s First Writing<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Vasant Panchami is considered one of the best days for <strong>Akshar Abhyasam<\/strong> (also called Vidya Arambh). This ritual marks a child\u2019s first step into learning: writing the first letters, usually guided by a parent, teacher, or priest. Families often make the child sit near Saraswati\u2019s idol, then guide them to write \u201cOm\u201d, \u201cAum\u201d, or the first alphabet letters on a slate, notebook, or rice tray.<\/p>\n<p>The ritual is popular because Saraswati Puja naturally supports the theme of learning and discipline. Even older students sometimes begin new notebooks, new courses, or new music lessons on this day. It\u2019s also common for musicians to place their instruments near the goddess and begin practice after the puja, treating it like a fresh start.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Traveller angle:<\/strong> If you\u2019re visiting Kolkata, you\u2019ll see many families bringing children to community pandals for blessings. In temple towns like Varanasi, you\u2019ll see priests guiding small writing rituals in quieter family settings. For photographers, these moments are intimate and meaningful, so always ask permission and keep a respectful distance.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Dos_and_Donts_for_Saraswati_Puja_Practical_Not_Preachy\"><\/span>Dos and Don\u2019ts for Saraswati Puja (Practical, Not Preachy)<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Every region has its own customs, but a few common practices help travellers and first-timers avoid awkward moments. First, dress modestly if you\u2019re entering a temple or community puja area. Yellow is welcome, but not compulsory. Remove shoes where required and follow the queue system, especially in busy cities like Kolkata.<\/p>\n<p>Many families avoid eating non-vegetarian food and alcohol on Vasant Panchami, especially before the puja. If you\u2019re travelling, it\u2019s a good idea to keep your food choices light and vegetarian at least during the main muhurat hours, particularly if you plan to visit temples and participate in rituals.<\/p>\n<p>Avoid touching idols, offerings, or books placed for puja unless invited. Don\u2019t use flash photography inside crowded pandals or near idols. In Kolkata, immersion processions can be lively; keep safe distance, follow police barricades, and protect your phone and valuables.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Best mindset:<\/strong> treat Saraswati Puja like a cultural learning experience, not a \u201ctourist event\u201d. If you do that, locals are usually warm and welcoming.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Best_Saraswati_Puja_Experiences_in_India_2026_Where_to_Go_and_Why\"><\/span>Best Saraswati Puja Experiences in India (2026): Where to Go and Why<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Vasant Panchami is celebrated across India, but the intensity and style change by region. If you want a deeply spiritual atmosphere with ghats and temple bells, choose <strong>Varanasi<\/strong> or <strong>Prayagraj<\/strong>. If you want royal-city culture, soft winter sun, and temple visits with a festive touch, choose <strong>Jaipur<\/strong>. If you want the most iconic, high-energy Saraswati Puja culture\u2014pandals, campus celebrations, and immersion\u2014choose <strong>Kolkata<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<p>The best part is that these cities also work well for winter travel. You can build an itinerary around the festival and still enjoy classic sightseeing: river aarti in Varanasi, Sangam in Prayagraj, forts and markets in Jaipur, and heritage + food walks in Kolkata.<\/p>\n<p>If you\u2019re extending your trip into February, you can stack festivals and weather-friendly destinations.

The city\u2019s energy naturally matches Saraswati Puja: learning, mantras, and quiet devotion. Start your day early with a walk along the ghats when the light is soft. Many families and students visit temples for blessings, and you\u2019ll find small Saraswati setups in homes, schools, and cultural spaces. If you enjoy slow travel, Varanasi on this day is perfect.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Best experiences:<\/strong> morning ghat walk, temple darshan, and an evening aarti to close the day. If you\u2019re a student or creative, carry a small notebook, write your intentions for the year, and place it for blessings at a temple or in your stay (if culturally appropriate). This simple act feels surprisingly powerful in Varanasi\u2019s mood.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Travel planning:<\/strong> late January is still winter-friendly, but mornings can be chilly. Pack a light jacket for sunrise time.

On Saraswati Puja day, many devotees connect the festival to the sacred river culture of the region. If you are looking for a devotional, grounded celebration without the intense crowds of peak bathing events, Vasant Panchami is a meaningful time to visit.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Best experiences:<\/strong> a morning visit to the riverfront areas, temple darshan, and watching local families do simple puja routines. Because Saraswati is also linked to learning, you may see students carrying books and stationery to be blessed, especially in community settings. If you\u2019re travelling with family, Prayagraj is practical: it has straightforward transport links and plenty of mid-range stays.<\/p>\n<p><strong>How to plan your day:<\/strong> do your main ritual visits in the morning during the puja window, then keep afternoon for relaxed sightseeing and local food. If your route includes nearby pilgrimage towns during winter, you can also pair Prayagraj with a January spiritual plan using <a href=\"https:\/\/www.easeindiatrip.com\/blog\/ayodhya-january-weather-and-travel-guide\/\">Ayodhya in January (weather &amp; travel guide)<\/a>.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Jaipur_on_Vasant_Panchami\"><\/span>Jaipur on Vasant Panchami<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p><strong>Jaipur<\/strong> suits Vasant Panchami beautifully because the city is already visually \u201cwarm\u201d: sandstone tones, colourful bazaars, marigold garlands, and winter sunshine. On Vasant Panchami, you\u2019ll spot more yellow outfits and seasonal flowers, and temples see a steady flow of devotees offering prayers for learning and success. The festival here feels elegant and balanced: you get devotion, but you also get the full Jaipur sightseeing experience without everything shutting down.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Best experiences:<\/strong> start with a temple visit in the morning, then continue with forts and heritage walks. Many travellers choose to wear yellow and take photos at iconic spots like Hawa Mahal and Amer Fort because the colour palette naturally matches the city. In the afternoon, explore bazaars for handicrafts, notebooks, or simple Saraswati Puja items if you\u2019re doing a small ritual at your stay.<\/p>\n<p>If you\u2019re building a longer winter trip, Jaipur also fits perfectly into February routes.

Here, Saraswati Puja is a full cultural season\u2014especially for students and young adults. Schools, colleges, and neighbourhood groups build pandals, decorate idols, and organise community rituals. The day feels like a mix of devotion and celebration: people dress up (yellow is very common), meet friends, visit multiple pandals, and take part in prayers.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Best experiences:<\/strong> morning visits to college pujas (where permitted), neighbourhood pandal hopping, and evening immersion processions. The immersion (visarjan) energy is a unique Kolkata highlight, with idols taken to the river for ritual farewell. If you enjoy cultural photography, Kolkata on Saraswati Puja day is one of the best days of the year\u2014but it\u2019s also a day to be extra respectful. Avoid intrusive shots near idols and always follow local rules.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Travel tip:<\/strong> Kolkata can get busy, so stay near areas you plan to explore and use local transport smartly.

Days are pleasant for sightseeing, while mornings and evenings can be cold, especially near rivers. In Varanasi and Prayagraj, the river breeze can feel sharp at sunrise, so pack a light jacket, shawl, or hoodie. Jaipur has bright sun in the afternoon but cool nights, so layered clothing works best.<\/p>\n<p>Kolkata is usually milder than north India in late January, but evenings can still feel cool. Comfortable shoes are important across all four cities because Saraswati Puja experiences often involve walking: ghats, temple corridors, pandal hopping, and market lanes.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Bonus planning:<\/strong> If your trip extends into February, you can add destinations with excellent winter weather.

This is a smart way to mix spiritual travel and relaxation in one itinerary.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"What_to_Eat_on_Vasant_Panchami\"><\/span>What to Eat on Vasant Panchami<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Vasant Panchami food is usually simple, sweet, and often yellow. Many families offer <strong>kesari halwa<\/strong>, <strong>boondi laddoo<\/strong>, <strong>kheer<\/strong>, or <strong>sweet rice<\/strong> as prasad. In some homes, saffron, turmeric, or yellow lentils are used to give dishes a warm golden colour that matches the festival theme. If you are travelling, you\u2019ll easily find yellow sweets in local mithai shops, especially in north Indian cities.<\/p>\n<p>In Kolkata, community pujas often have a fuller bhog style with khichuri and vegetable dishes, followed by sweets. In Varanasi, you\u2019ll find more traditional temple-side prasad and seasonal winter snacks. Jaipur\u2019s sweet scene is strong, so you can try local mithai as festival food while still keeping it vegetarian during the main ritual hours.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Food safety tip:<\/strong> stick to busy, clean shops where sweets move fast and are freshly stocked. Carry water and avoid overeating before temple visits. The festival day often involves walking and standing in queues, so light, comfortable meals make the whole experience better.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Festival_Etiquette_for_Travellers\"><\/span>Festival Etiquette for Travellers<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Vasant Panchami is welcoming, but it is still a worship day. A few small choices can make your experience smoother and more respectful. First, dress modestly for temples and pandals. If you wear yellow, keep it tasteful rather than flashy. Carry a small scarf or dupatta if you\u2019re visiting traditional places that prefer covered shoulders.<\/p>\n<p>Second, follow local instructions. In Kolkata pandals, there may be separate entry\/exit lines. In ghats cities, there may be restricted areas near rituals. Avoid stepping into spaces where offerings or sacred items are placed. If you are unsure, pause and observe how locals behave, then follow that rhythm.<\/p>\n<p>Third, be mindful with photography. Don\u2019t use flash near idols or during aarti. Don\u2019t block paths or push into the front. If you want portraits, ask first. Many people are happy to help, especially if you approach politely.<\/p>\n<p>Finally, keep your valuables safe. Festivals can be crowded, and pickpocketing can happen anywhere. A cross-body bag and a simple phone strap go a long way on busy festival days.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"More_Winter_Travel_Reads_To_Build_a_Bigger_January%E2%80%93February_Plan\"><\/span>More Winter Travel Reads (To Build a Bigger January\u2013February Plan)<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>If you are planning around Vasant Panchami and want to build a bigger India winter trip, these guides can help you choose destinations based on weather and festivals:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.easeindiatrip.com\/blog\/indian-festivals-february\/\">Indian festivals in February<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.easeindiatrip.com\/blog\/travel-guide-rajasthan-in-february\/\">Rajasthan in February travel guide<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.easeindiatrip.com\/blog\/varanasi-in-february-weather-attractions-and-festivals\/\">Varanasi in February (weather, attractions &amp; festivals)<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.easeindiatrip.com\/blog\/rishikesh-in-february-travel-guide\/\">Rishikesh in February travel guide<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.easeindiatrip.com\/blog\/goa-in-february-weather-attractions-festivals\/\">Goa in February (weather, attractions &amp; festivals)<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.easeindiatrip.com\/blog\/ayodhya-january-weather-and-travel-guide\/\">Ayodhya in January (weather &amp; travel guide)<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>You can also interlink to your January destination cluster posts (hill stations, places to visit in January, January festivals, etc.) to strengthen internal SEO and keep users browsing longer.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"People_Also_Ask_FAQ_%E2%80%93_Vasant_Panchami_2026\"><\/span>People Also Ask (FAQ) \u2013 Vasant Panchami 2026<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"When_is_Vasant_Panchami_in_2026\"><\/span>When is Vasant Panchami in 2026?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>Vasant Panchami (Basant Panchami) in 2026 is on <strong>Friday, 23 January 2026<\/strong>.
