What is Panchak Shanti?
A shanti performed by many North Indian families when a death in the family falls during Panchak, the five nakshatra period, as part of the last rites.
Families in Shimla book Panchak Shanti for along with the antim sanskar, when the death falls in panchak, and we arrange a Pandit who knows the full vidhi.
ब्रह्मा मुरारिस्त्रिपुरान्तकारी भानुः शशी भूमिसुतो बुधश्च।
गुरुश्च शुक्रः शनिराहुकेतवः सर्वे ग्रहाः शान्तिकरा भवन्तु॥
