Mumbai: In Hindu tradition, Kharmas is considered an inauspicious period during which no auspicious or ceremonial activities should be performed. This period occurs twice a year—once when the Sun enters the Sagittarius zodiac sign (Dhanu Rashi) and again when it enters the Pisces zodiac sign (Meen Rashi). The second Kharmas of the year has begun on 14th March 2025, as the Sun has now entered Pisces. This phase will continue until 13th April, meaning that for the next month, Hindus are advised to refrain from conducting weddings, housewarming ceremonies, and other sacred rituals.
According to Hindu beliefs, any auspicious event undertaken during Kharmas is unlikely to yield positive results. As a result, families postpone major celebrations and religious rituals until this period concludes. However, despite its inauspicious nature for specific activities, Kharmas is also considered a spiritually significant time for worship and devotion.
Why Are Auspicious Events Avoided During Kharmas?
Astrologers believe that when the Sun transits into either Pisces or Sagittarius, its radiance and power diminish. The Sun is regarded as the king of planets, and its weakened state is considered unsuitable for performing sacred and celebratory activities. In Hindu tradition, a strong and radiant Sun is deemed essential for the success and prosperity of any auspicious occasion. Therefore, ceremonies such as marriages, housewarming functions, and naming rituals are generally avoided during this period.
What Should Be Done During Kharmas?
While Kharmas is deemed inauspicious for weddings and other ceremonies, it is highly favourable for engaging in religious practices. Devotees are encouraged to recite the Surya Chalisa to seek the blessings of the Sun God. According to astrological beliefs, chanting the Surya Chalisa during this period strengthens the Sun’s position in one’s horoscope, leading to enhanced respect and honour in society. It is also said to bring immense success in all aspects of life.
As Kharmas continues until mid-April, those who follow Hindu traditions should take this time to engage in prayer, self-reflection, and acts of charity while postponing significant events until this astrological phase concludes.
