Panchak Dosha Calculator
What is Panchak Dosha?
Panchak Dosha is read from the period when the Moon moves through the final stretch of the zodiac — from the second half of Dhanishtha through Shatabhisha, Purva Bhadrapada, Uttara Bhadrapada and Revati (Aquarius into Pisces). Certain activities such as travel, cremation rites and some construction work are traditionally avoided during Panchak, and birth in this window is noted as a panchang caution.
The weekday of birth names the type: Roga, Raja, Agni, Chor or Mrityu Panchak, each shading the caution toward illness, authority, fire, loss or mortality themes in classical lists. The mark is a timing and temperament note rather than a lifelong doom; many Panchak-born people live full, successful lives once the relevant shanti and common-sense care are observed.
How strongly it matters depends on the rest of the panchang and the birth chart — a strong Lagna and Moon keep it light. Enter your exact birth date, time and place so the Moon's Nakshatra and the weekday are calculated correctly, and read Panchak within the full chart. Used this way it is a muhurta-linked caution to honour with awareness and simple remedies, not a defining flaw of the person. The weekday type helps choose which classical pacification to favour.

Can Panchak Dosha be cancelled or reduced?
