In Hindu religion, great importance is given to the calculation of time or Muhurta before starting any auspicious work. According to astrology, Bhadra and Panchak are two periods which are generally not considered auspicious. Experts say that mistakes made during these periods may prove costly in the future or may cause hindrances in work, hence it is wise to be cautious during this period.

According to mythological beliefs, Bhadra is the daughter of Lord Surya and sister of Shani Dev. Being harsh by nature, when Bhadra influences the earth, auspicious activities like marriage, mundan or house warming are prohibited. At the same time, Panchak is a group of five special constellations, Dhanishtha, Shatabhisha, Purvabhadrapada, Uttarabhadrapada and Revati. It is said that the energy during this time is such that any work can be repeated five times, hence special rules have been made to avoid repetition of bad deeds or inauspicious events.

What to do and what to avoid during Bhadra period?

The advice of astrologers regarding the timing of Bhadra (Vishti Karan) is clear:

• Put a break on these tasks: Bhadra is taken special care of during weddings, starting a new business, big investments, housewarming and festivals like Rakshabandhan. It is believed that work started during this period is not successful.
• You can get success in: Although this time is bad for auspicious works but it can be considered good for victory over enemies, court case like filing a lawsuit or any operation. Worship of Hanuman ji and Shiva ji is best at this time.

Keep these 5 things in mind during Panchak

Strict rules have been given regarding certain tasks during the five days of Panchak, which can be understood in common parlance as follows:

• Collecting Wood: It is believed that by doing this there is a fear of fire.
• Traveling South: South direction is considered to be the direction of Yama, hence traveling in this direction can be painful.
• Roofing the house: By doing this, there is a possibility of increase in fights in the house and lack of money.
• Making a bed or cot: According to old beliefs, this can have a bad effect on health.
• Funeral: If cremation has to be performed at this time, it is considered tradition to burn five effigies of dough together.
