Mumbai: In Hinduism, the period of Kharmas is considered highly significant, as all auspicious and ceremonial activities, including weddings, are strictly prohibited during this time. Kharmas occurs when the Sun transitions into the zodiac signs of Sagittarius (Dhanu) or Pisces (Meen). Typically, this period takes place twice a year. In 2025, the first Kharmas began on 14 March, when the Sun entered Pisces. As a result, no auspicious activities will take place until mid-April.
With Kharmas coming to an end in April, many are eager to know when wedding ceremonies and other mangal (auspicious) events can resume. Let’s take a look at the exact dates and auspicious timings (Shubh Muhurat) in April 2025.
When Will Auspicious Activities Resume in April?
On 14 March, at 6:59 PM, the Sun entered Pisces, a zodiac sign ruled by Jupiter (Guru). The Sun will remain in this sign for a month, finally exiting on 13 April and transitioning into Aries (Mesh), which is ruled by Mars (Mangal). With this transition, Kharmas will officially end, allowing weddings and other auspicious activities to resume from 14 April onwards.
