Panchaka is a period considered inauspicious in Vedic astrology, occurring when the Moon transits through the last five nakshatras: Dhanishtha, Shatabhisha, Purva Bhadrapada, Uttara Bhadrapada, and Revati. During Panchaka, certain activities like cremation, construction, and long journeys are traditionally avoided. It occurs roughly every month for about 5 days.
