Frequently asked questions
What is Panchak?
Panchak is the period of about five days when the Moon moves through the last five nakshatras of the zodiac: the second half of Dhanishta, Shatabhisha, Purva Bhadrapada, Uttara Bhadrapada and Revati. It begins when the Moon enters Aquarius and ends when it leaves Pisces.
How many times does Panchak come in 2027?
Panchak comes 13 times in 2027, roughly once every 27 days, each lasting about four and a half to five days.
What should be avoided in Panchak?
Tradition advises against starting some activities in Panchak, such as laying a roof, collecting firewood or fuel, building a bed and travelling south. Daily work, worship and most purchases carry on as normal, and a pandit can suggest a suitable alternative date for an important start.
What are Roga, Raja, Agni, Chora and Mrityu Panchak?
The traditional name of a Panchak depends on the weekday (counted from sunrise to sunrise) on which it begins: Sunday Roga, Monday Raja, Tuesday Agni, Friday Chora and Saturday Mrityu. Panchak beginning on Wednesday or Thursday has no special name.
