What is Kharmas and how many times does it occur in a year?

Kharmas is being felt on 15th December 2024. On this day, Sun God will enter Sagittarius at 10:19 pm and will remain in this zodiac for 30 days. After this, when the Sun enters Capricorn on Makar Sankranti on January 14, Kharmas will end.

According to astrologer Anish Vyas, when Sun God enters Sagittarius and Pisces then Kharmas occurs. In such a situation, Kharmas is held twice in a year, the duration of which is 30 days.

The lord of Sagittarius and Pisces is Jupiter. Sun God reduces his brightness after reaching the house of Jupiter. Besides, during this period the planet Jupiter also reduces its auspiciousness.

Due to the weakening of the Sun and the auspicious effect of Lord Jupiter being less, auspicious activities like marriage, engagement, tonsure, housewarming etc. are prohibited in Kharmas.

Kharmas is not considered auspicious for auspicious works. But worshiping Sun God and Lord Vishnu during this time is fruitful. This time is also auspicious for donations etc.

The month of Kharmas is auspicious for religious activities, hence it is considered a holy and important month in Sanatan Dharma. Along with worship, at this time you can read religious texts and take bath in the holy river.
