Quick Answer
Panchak (पंचक) is the ~5-day period when the Moon transits the last five nakshatras — Dhanishta, Shatabhisha, Purva Bhadrapada, Uttara Bhadrapada and Revati. In classical tradition, new ventures, property purchases, travel and shubh ceremonies are avoided during Panchak, though some rituals (Shraddha, Pitru Karya) are allowed.
Panchak 2026 dates (start → end, Delhi reference): January 21–24 · February 17–21 · March 16–20 · April 12–16 · May 10–14 · June 6–10 · July 3–7 · July 31–August 4 · August 27–31 · September 23–27 · October 21–25 · November 17–21 · December 14–18.
The exact start and end times shift by a few hours per city, so check the moon nakshatra for your exact location. Panchak recurs roughly once per lunar cycle (about 13 times a year).
