Is Ganesh immersion possible in Panchak?
Anant Chaturdashi 2025: The festival of Anant Chaturdashi, which is celebrated on the Chaturdashi date of Shukla Paksha of Bhadrapada month, is falling on 6 September, Saturday. This day is considered very special for the worship of Lord Vishnu and the conclusion of Ganesh festival. Lakhs of devotees bid farewell to Bappa on this day amid the cheers of ‘Ganpati Bappa Morya’. But this time a question is emerging in the minds of devotees because Panchak is starting from this day itself. According to astrology, some works are prohibited in Panchak. In such a situation, the doubt is that can Ganesh immersion be done during Panchak?
What is Panchak and why is it considered inauspicious?
Panchak is the period in Hindu astrology when the Moon wanders into five constellations Dhanishtha, Shatabhisha, Purva Bhadrapada, Uttara Bhadrapada and Revathi. At this time, new construction, marriage, home entry or mangalik work are forbidden. It is believed that the side effects of the work done in Panchak can increase manifold. For example, it is said to be inauspicious to put a roof in the panchak, make a bed or travel in the south direction. However, Panchak has no effect on worship, fasting and religious rituals. Jyotishacharya also believes that it is completely appropriate to perform Dev immersion or religious ritual in Panchak.
Can Ganesh immersion be done in Panchak?
Religious Ganesh Visarjan is the conclusion of a religious ritual and celebration. Astrologers say that Panchak only affects worldly and manglic works and not religious activities. Pandits believe that the importance of Anant Chaturdashi is so big that Panchak neutralizes its effect. Therefore, there is no hindrance in immersion on this day. Yes, devotees can make peace by giving food or donation to five Brahmins for the prevention of Panchak Dosh.
The coincidence of Anant Chaturdashi and Panchak in 2025
This year, the date of Anant Chaturdashi will start from 3:12 am on September 6 and will remain till 1:41 am on September 7. On the same day, Panchak will also start from 11:21 pm, which will run till 10 September.
Auspicious time of immersion
The morning: 6:02 am to 1:41 pm
Evening: 6:28 pm to 7:56 pm
Night: 9:24 pm to 1:49 pm (7 September)
In the morning Muhurta, immersion will be done before Panchak but can also be immersed in the evening or night because it is a religious ritual and the Panchak does not obstruct it.
