In Hindu culture, there is a law to see auspicious time before doing every work, auspicious time is seen to do any work, then Panchak is also considered. There is a state of fear and confusion in the minds of the people regarding Panchak, when any inauspicious work is done, Panchak is considered, because it is believed that the fruit of the work done in Panchak time increases five times.

Panchak means – five, Panchak is determined on the basis of the moon. When the Moon transits from Aquarius to Pisces, this phase is called Panchak, during this phase, the Moon passes through five signs. These are the latter part of Dhanishta Nakshatra, Shatabhisha Nakshatra, Purva Bhadrapada Nakshatra, Uttara Bhadrapada Nakshatra, and Revati Nakshatra. Many scholars consider the whole part of Dhanishta Nakshatra as Panchak and some consider half of it as Panchak. No auspicious work should be done during the time of Panchak. During this time the work done increased five times.

Five types of Panchak are formed on the basis of the degree of the Sun. These are – Disease, Agni, Nrip, Thief, and Death. Yagyopaveet is not performed in Rog Bandh, construction of house or housewarming is not done in Agni Bandh, the job is prohibited in Nrip Bandh, travel is prohibited in Chor Bandh, and marriage is prohibited in Death Bandh.

What are Panchak and why are they Considered Inauspicious?

The meaning of Panchak Nakshatra is to have five frequencies, under which any work is to be done in this Nakshatra, then its fruit is obtained five times. Panchak is not considered auspicious in astrological knowledge, Panchak Nakshatra is formed by the combination of inauspicious and harmful constellations. The special yoga formed by the meeting of many constellations is called Panchak. When the moon stays in Aquarius and Pisces, then that time is called Panchak. Five constellations come under Panchak, which are called Panchak constellations, they are Dhanishtha, Shatabhisha, Purva Bhadrapada, Uttara Bhadrapada, and Revati. Auspicious and special works are not done under Panchak Nakshatra. There are 27 constellations in the constellation cycle, in which Dhanishtha, Shatabhisha, Purva Bhadrapada, Uttara Bhadrapada, and Revati, the last five constellations are considered contaminated. Each Nakshatra is divided into four stages, in which there is one Nakshatra every day, so Panchak Nakshatra remains for five days due to having five Nakshatras from Dhanishta to Revati.

The above tasks may get delayed during Panchak. According to Rajamartand traveling in the south direction during Dhanishta Nakshatra, building a roof, collecting fuel, or making a cot can lead to pyromania. Doing these things during Shatabhisha Nakshatra leads to quarrels. Doing these in Purva Bhadrapada Nakshatra can cause disease, punishment in Uttara Bhadrapada Nakshatra, and loss of money if done in Revati Nakshatra.
