Moon in Kumbha & Meena

Panchak dates

Panchak is the roughly five days each month while the Moon passes from the second half of Dhanishta to the end of Revati. Some activities are traditionally avoided then.

New Delhi, India

Panchak dates

Times are for the city shown. Panchak starts and ends at the same moment everywhere; only the local clock time differs.

Traditionally avoided during Panchak
  • journeys towards the south
  • house repair, renovation or roofing
  • collecting fuel or fodder
  • acquiring cots and beds
  • cremation (propitiation advised if unavoidable)

By custom it is named after the weekday it begins — in the city shown, so the name can differ between cities: Sunday Roga, Monday Raja, Tuesday Agni, Friday Chora, Saturday Mrityu Panchak. Regional practice varies; this is a traditional observance, not a forecast.
