Questions, answered
What is Panchak?
Panchak is the period when the Moon transits the final 60° of the sidereal zodiac — the five nakshatras from Dhanishtha's second half to Revati. It recurs for about five days each sidereal month.
Which activities does tradition avoid during Panchak?
By convention some acts — southward travel, roof-laying, gathering fuel, cot-making and funerary rites — are traditionally deferred during Panchak. This is a stated custom; the page asserts no outcome either way.
How are these times computed?
The Moon's sidereal longitude is scanned for its crossings of 300° (Panchak begins) and 360° (Panchak ends), refined to the second and shown in Indian Standard Time. Lahiri ayanamsa.
