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.
