Dwipushkara Yoga Dates

Dwipushkara yoga is called the doubler: tradition says any good work begun in it repeats itself. Use the explorer below to find every date it occurs in any year across three decades, plus how the yoga forms and what to use it for.

Find Dwipushkara yoga dates by year

Computing dates for the selected year...
How the explorer computes dates: every day is evaluated with our classical Panchang engine. Windows separated by 3 hours or less are merged into one run, and runs shorter than 5 minutes are dropped as ephemeris noise. Each run is dated by the IST date its window starts on. Dates and times computed for Ujjain (IST), the classical panchang reference. Near midnight run-starts, published panchangs can list a neighboring date.

What is Dwipushkara yoga?

Dwipushkara is an auspicious muhurta yoga. It forms when a Bhadra tithi, Dwitiya, Saptami or Dwadashi, falls on a Sunday, Tuesday or Saturday, together with one of the two-footed (dvipada) nakshatras: Mrigashira, Chitra or Dhanishta. The name means that which pushes twofold, and anything begun in this yoga, from a purchase to a new venture, is expected to repeat or double.

Tithi: Dwitiya, Saptami or DwadashiWeekday: Sunday, Tuesday or SaturdayNakshatra: Mrigashira, Chitra or Dhanishta

All three must overlap at some point in the Panchang day. Because the Panchang day starts at sunrise, an overlap in the small hours counts toward the previous sunrise day, which is how almanacs date this yoga.
