Mumbai: Kharmas holds significant importance in Hinduism. This period occurs when the Sun transits into Sagittarius (Dhanu) and Pisces (Meen) zodiac signs, happening twice a year. According to astrology, Kharmas is considered an inauspicious time, as the influence of Devguru Brihaspati (Jupiter) diminishes during this phase.

As a result, auspicious ceremonies and major life events such as marriages, housewarming rituals, and business inaugurations are generally avoided. However, worship and spiritual practices are considered highly beneficial during Kharmas. Praying to Lord Surya (the Sun God) during this time is believed to bring success in one’s career and help overcome hardships.

When Does Kharmas End in 2025?

Kharmas began on 14th March and will conclude on 13th April 2025. During this period, devotees engage in dedicated prayers and worship of Lord Surya, the provider of vitality and strength. Performing these rituals is believed to bring good health, prosperity, and peace.
