Tripushkar Yoga Timings for 2026

What is Tripushkar Yoga?

Tripushkar Yoga (त्रिपुष्कर योग) is a distinctive multiplier yoga in Vedic Panchang — “Tri” meaning three and “Pushkar” meaning to nourish or amplify. Its defining trait is not that it is simply good or bad, but that it magnifies: any action performed during a Tripushkar Yoga window, whether beneficial or harmful, is traditionally believed to produce a threefold result. It is the “triple” counterpart to the related Dwipushkar Yoga, which doubles rather than triples an act's effect.

Astronomical Formation

Tripushkar Yoga forms when three separate Panchang conditions align simultaneously: the Tithi must be the 2nd, 7th, or 12th day of either the Shukla (waxing) or Krishna (waning) fortnight; the Vaara (weekday) must be Sunday (Ravivara), Tuesday (Mangalavara), or Saturday (Shanivara); and the Moon must be transiting one of six specific Nakshatras — Krittika, Punarvasu, Uttara Phalguni, Vishakha, Uttara Ashadha, or Purva Bhadrapada. All three conditions — Tithi, Vaara, and Nakshatra — must be true at the same moment for the yoga to be active; because this requires three independently moving elements to line up together, Tripushkar Yoga is comparatively infrequent, and each window is shown split at local sunrise, matching how the Vaara itself changes.

Auspicious for Multiplying, Not for One-Time Acts

Because it triples results rather than guaranteeing a good outcome, Tripushkar Yoga calls for careful judgment about what kind of activity is being undertaken:

• Favourable for: Financial investments, savings deposits, purchase of gold or other assets, sowing seeds, and any activity whose benefit compounds or repeats over time.
• Avoid for: One-time or irreversible events such as weddings, funerals, or other actions that should not be “repeated” or amplified — since an inauspicious act performed now is also believed to be tripled in its negative effect.
