FAQ
Frequently asked questions
Which nakshatras make Panchak?
The last five: Dhanishta (2nd half), Shatabhisha, Purva Bhadrapada, Uttara Bhadrapada and Revati — the Moon's crossing of Aquarius and Pisces.
Is every Panchak day equally avoided?
No — the first day of Revati and Uttara Bhadrapada portions are often relaxed in regional almanacs. The conservative rule is to mind the whole window.
