Panchak Dates 2027: Every Window This Year
13 Panchak windows fall in 2027. Each row below is one continuous window: the Moon is inside the Dhanishta–Revati sector from the start date until the end date, and the whole window — not just the middle of it — is what tradition avoids for auspicious beginnings.

Dates are computed at local sunrise from the Moon's sidereal position (Lahiri ayanamsa). A printed panchang quoting clock times may differ by a few hours at the boundary.
Why Panchak matters for planning
Panchak is one of the few restrictions in the Vedic calendar that applies to beginnings rather than to an entire day. Routine work, travel, worship and medical treatment are not affected. What is avoided is anything with a long life ahead of it: a business, a vehicle, a house, a marriage, a naming ceremony. That is why the muhurat calendars on this site drop Panchak days before they ever rank a date.
The five windows are traditionally named by the weekday on which they begin — Rog, Raja, Agni, Chor and Mrityu Panchak — and the name is shown for each period above. Nothing about the naming changes the dates; it is a label astrologers use when describing the window.
Panchak 2027: common questions
What are the Panchak dates in 2027?
There are 13 Panchak windows in 2027, listed with exact start and end dates in the table above. Each one lasts about four to five days and recurs roughly every lunar month, because the Moon returns to the Dhanishta–Revati sector of the zodiac in a little under a month.
What exactly is Panchak?
Panchak is the period during which the Moon occupies the last five nakshatras of the sidereal zodiac — Dhanishta (its second half), Shatabhisha, Purva Bhadrapada, Uttara Bhadrapada and Revati. In the Vedic calendar this window is considered inauspicious for starting anything you want to last.
What should be avoided during Panchak?
Traditionally: starting a new venture or business, buying a vehicle or property, laying a foundation, collecting or stacking wood, and performing a funeral in the usual manner. Everyday work, routine travel and daily worship are not restricted.
Can a wedding or housewarming happen during Panchak?
No — Panchak is avoided for weddings, griha pravesh and other sanskaras. The muhurat calendars on this site exclude Panchak days, which is one reason marriage dates cluster in the months outside Chaturmas.
Why do dates differ between panchangs?
Because the Moon's entry into and exit from Panchak usually happens mid-day. This page uses the sunrise reading, the convention for fixing a muhurat, so a panchang that quotes exact clock times may show the start or end a few hours either side of the dates here.
