Panchak, Bhadra and special yogas

Panchak Present

22:36:17 (3 days earlier) to 15:58:29 (2 days later)
Moon in Kumbha/Meena (Dhanishta 3rd pada to Revati)
traditional type: Raja Panchak (began on Monday)

The Panchak interval is an astronomical fact (Moon's position). Restrictions associated with it — such as avoiding southward travel, roofing, wood-gathering or certain funeral rites without remedies — are traditional and vary between communities. Learn more

Bhadra (Vishti karana) Present

22:46:13 (previous day) to 11:12:31
Residence: Bhumi (earth)

Bhadra is the Vishti karana (a calculated half-tithi). Many traditions avoid auspicious beginnings during Bhadra, especially when it resides on earth (Moon in Karka, Simha, Kumbha or Meena); some permit activities when it resides in Swarga or Patala. Learn more
