Panchak 2025

Panchak is five days when the Moon is in Aquarius and Pisces. According to ancient Indian mythology, it is considered a very inauspicious time and it is advised not to start any new work during Panchak. It is said that if any work is started during Panchak, it never gets completed and instead the troubles increase fivefold. In Hindu Vedic astrology, people usually refer to the Panchang and take note of the auspicious time to perform various tasks like marriage, starting a business, building a house, etc. Timing is of great importance and people leave no stone unturned to choose the right time. Panchak is considered very bad as per Hindu mythology.

Conclusion

 

Hindus across the world celebrate every festival and ceremony by looking at the tithi which tells whether that date and time is auspicious or inauspicious for that event. So, the day, date, and time are important while planning anything according to the Hindu calendar. However, some festivals are also celebrated on fixed dates which again are based on calculations done on the movement of celestial bodies. Traditionally it is believed that if an occasion is celebrated during an auspicious time then it brings good luck and if it is celebrated during an inauspicious time, it may cause obstacles and misfortune in work. Panchak or Panchak Yoga or Panchak Kaal is one such inauspicious time. As per Vedic Hindu astrology and traditional Hindu religious beliefs, work started during Panchak Yoga remains incomplete as it is delayed due to obstacles and repeated five more times. It is advised that you do not be careless about it and do everything under the guidance of an experienced and educated astrologer. So you should talk to astrologers directly.
