Dwipushkar Yoga Timings for 2026

What is Dwipushkar Yoga?

Dwipushkar Yoga (द्विपुष्कर योग) is a Panchang combination whose defining trait is multiplication— “Dwi” means two, and “Pushkar” refers to nourishing, repeating growth. Any act performed during this window is traditionally believed to be doubled in its result.

Astronomical Formation

Dwipushkar Yoga requires three factors to align simultaneously:

• Tithi: the 2nd, 7th, or 12th lunar day of either fortnight (Shukla or Krishna Paksha).
• Vaara: Sunday, Tuesday, or Saturday.
• Nakshatra: Mrigashira, Chitra, or Dhanishta.

Only when the Tithi, Vaara, and Nakshatra all coincide at the same moment does Dwipushkar Yoga form. Because it needs a three-way alignment rather than just one or two factors, it occurs relatively infrequently compared to single-factor yogas.

Doubling Effect — Auspicious and Cautionary

Since the effect of any action is believed to double, Dwipushkar Yoga is favourable for tasks whose repeated or amplified outcome is desirable — such as investments, property purchases, and the start of a business expected to grow. It is generally avoided for one-time acts whose outcome should not be repeated, such as taking loans, starting disputes, or health-related procedures.

A related combination, Tripushkar Yoga, shares the same Tithi and Vaara rule but applies to a different set of Nakshatras (Krittika, Punarvasu, Uttara Phalguni, Vishakha, Uttara Ashadha, Purva Bhadrapada) and is said to triple, rather than double, the outcome.
