Overview
Panchak Shanti for families in Rathyatra
Panchak is the period when the moon passes through the last five nakshatras: Dhanishta, Shatabhisha, Purva Bhadrapada, Uttara Bhadrapada and Revati. In North Indian tradition, if a death in the family happens during Panchak, a Panchak Shanti is customarily performed along with the last rites.
Rathyatra is one of the best-known crossings in central Varanasi, linking Sigra, Mahmoorganj and the roads towards the south of the city. Its name comes from the traditional Rath Yatra fair of Lord Jagannath held in the area each year.
ब्रह्मा मुरारिस्त्रिपुरान्तकारी भानुः शशी भूमिसुतो बुधश्च।
गुरुश्च शुक्रः शनिराहुकेतवः सर्वे ग्रहाः शान्तिकरा भवन्तु॥
