Dhanistha, Shatbhishak, Poorvabhadrapada, Uttarbhadrapada and Revati are five Nakshatras are known as a Panchak. Panchak means group of ‘Five’. In every month it is period of five days when Moon transits from Aquarius & Pisces Sign respectively. Panchak occurs when the moon's longitude exist between 296 degrees and 360 degrees in sidreal calculation. It states that no auspicious work should be undertaken during this time like marraige, naamkaran, grihapravesh etc. According to Garuda Purana "Person who dies during Panchak does not get peace. Dhanishta Star to Rewati Star are known as Panchak Star. It is known that if any person who dies during this Panchak, is not good for the family left behind."
According to Astrology if you perform any task during these Nakshatras you may have to repeat it for five times. During Panchak the elements in the universe become unbalanced and this causes an imbalance within the family structure. There are five tasks which are prohibited to perform during Panchak. Traveling in south direction, restoring fuel, funeral of body, building house and making bed are not considered auspicious to do during Panchak. According to the spiritual text the auspicious events like Marriage, Mundan, entering to a new House, welcome of a new Bride, construction of house and Upnayan Sanskara are prohibited during this period. The Panchak Nakshatras are not considered during the festivals of Raksha Bandhan and Bhaiya Dauj.

Can you also tell us why Panchak is considered inauspicious. I mean is there a astrological explanation related to Hindu mythology?
पंचकों का दोष विवाह मुहूर्तों में नहीं माना गया है। अपितु धनिष्ठा व रेवती में तो बहुतयायत विवाह योग बनते हैं।
