Grahan Panchak 2026: Double dose of eclipse and Panchak on Falgun Amavasya, note down 17th February.

Grahan Panchak 2026: The month of February has started. There will be special festivals this month, due to which February is going to be special from religious and astrological point of view. But in this month the first solar eclipse and Panchak of the year will also take place. The special thing is that both solar eclipse and Panchak are taking place on the same day, which is not considered normal in astrology. Therefore, astrologers are advising people to be cautious.

Note the date of 17 February 2026

Let us tell you that this event of eclipse and Panchak will happen on 17 February 2026. According to the Panchang, this day will be Phalgun Amavasya, which is being called Bhaumvati Amavasya. On this date, the first solar eclipse of the year will occur, which will affect all the zodiac signs, people’s lives and the country and the world. Besides, the five days of Panchak is also starting from Phalgun Amavasya. This will be Agni Panchak.

Caution from eclipse and Panchak

According to astrologer Anish Vyas, the first Sun of the year 2026 will appear on Phalgun Amavasya. However, solar eclipse will not be visible in India and Sutak will also not be valid. Therefore all religious activities can be done as much as possible. But caution and alertness is necessary.

Panchak will start from 17th February and will end on Saturday 21st February. Since it is Tuesday, it will be called Agni Panchak. Panchak will start on 17th February at 09.30 am. Agni Panchak is not considered auspicious. During this time there is fear of heat, fire and accident. According to astrology, if you want to do any auspicious work then do it before Panchak starts or after Panchak ends. If for some reason you have to do auspicious work during the Panchak period, then definitely take advice from astrology.
