The concept of Kharmas holds a significant place in Hindu astrology and religious practices. This period, traditionally observed for one month, is when the Sun transits through the Sagittarius (Dhanu) or Pisces (Meen) zodiac signs. The commencement of Kharmas in 2024 began on December 16th, marking a time when certain auspicious activities are typically put on hold.
The Significance of Kharmas in Hindu Tradition
During Kharmas, a range of auspicious activities such as weddings, engagements, housewarming ceremonies, sacred thread ceremonies, and others are generally avoided. This period is a wait time for those looking to start new ventures or celebrate significant events. The end of Kharmas in 2024 is eagerly anticipated for the resumption of these auspicious activities.
Key Dates: The Conclusion of Kharmas 2024
The end of Kharmas in 2024 is aligned with the festival of Makar Sankranti, occurring on January 15th, 2024. This marks the Sun’s entry into Capricorn (Makar) and its northward journey. It is believed that from this day, the influence of the Sun strengthens and marks the beginning of the days favorable to deities.
Post-Kharmas: Resumption of Auspicious Activities
Once Kharmas concludes on January 15th, a range of auspicious activities can be undertaken. This includes housewarming, purchasing new vehicles or land, weddings, sacred thread ceremonies, and starting new business ventures. These activities can be planned up until the Devshayani Ekadashi.
Auspicious Dates in January 2024
- Wedding Dates: January 16, 17, 20, 21, 22, 27, 28, 30, 31
- Housewarming Dates: Specific dates to be determined
- First Feeding Ceremony (Annaprashan): January 17, 25, 31
- Ear Piercing Ceremony (Karnavedha): January 17, 18, 22, 25, 26, 31
- Sacred Thread Ceremony (Upanayana): January 21, 26, 31
Why Kharmas Is Considered Inauspicious for Certain Activities
During Kharmas, the Sun resides in either Sagittarius or Pisces, which are the zodiac signs ruled by Jupiter (Guru). This positioning is believed to diminish the positive influences of both the Sun and Jupiter. Since the auspiciousness of these planets is essential for the success of certain activities, their reduced impact during Kharmas leads to the avoidance of these activities.
Understanding the nuances of Kharmas is crucial for those following Hindu traditions and astrology. This period, while marking a pause in certain activities, is also a time for reflection and planning, as the end of Kharmas brings forth a flurry of auspicious dates and opportunities for new beginnings and celebrations.
