Mumbai: In Vedic astrology, Panchak is considered an inauspicious period that occurs when five specific constellations — Dhanishta, Shatabhisha, Purva Bhadrapada, Uttara Bhadrapada, and Revati — align in sequence. Lasting for five days each month, Panchak is linked with certain restrictions and is seen as a time when important activities should be avoided. Depending on the weekday it begins, Panchak is given different names, each carrying its own significance.

When Panchak starts on a Sunday, it is called Roga Panchak — a phase believed to bring heightened physical or mental stress. Astrologers recommend avoiding major undertakings during this time, as it is often referred to as an “inauspicious Panchak.” In August 2025, Roga Panchak begins at 2:12 AM on Sunday, 10 August, and ends at 9:06........
