There will be a break on auspicious works for one month from 16th December, know what to do and what not to do:

News India Live, Digital Desk: Every day and every month has its own special significance in Hindu religion and astrology. There is also a month in the year which is called ‘Kharmas’ or ‘Malmas’. This is a time when all kinds of auspicious and auspicious functions like marriage, housewarming, mundan etc are completely banned.

This year Kharmas is starting from Tuesday, 16th December 2025 and it will end next year on 14th January 2026, on the day of Makar Sankranti. In astrology, this one month period is not considered auspicious. But why is it so? And what should we do and what should we avoid during this time? Let us know every small and big thing related to Kharmas.

Why does it feel sour?

According to astrology, Sun God changes his zodiac sign every month. When Sun God enters Sagittarius or Pisces, that period is called Kharmas. Sagittarius and Pisces, both are the zodiac signs of Lord Jupiter. It is believed that when the Sun enters the zodiac sign of its master Jupiter, one becomes engaged in his service, due to which his influence on the earth reduces.

Sun is considered the king of all the planets and the factor of the soul. When the Sun itself becomes weak, then any auspicious work done during that time does not yield good results. That is why all auspicious works are stopped for this one month.

Do not do these 5 things even by mistake in Kharmas (What Not to Do in Kharmas):

1. wedding marriage: Getting married in Kharmas is considered the biggest taboo. It is believed that marriages done during this period do not bring happiness in married life.
2. Home Entrance: This is an inauspicious time for entering a new house or starting construction of a house.
3. New Business or Investment: During this period, one should avoid starting any new business or making any big investment, because the chances of success are reduced.
4. Mundan, sacred thread or ear piercing: These sixteen important rituals of children are also not performed in Kharmas.
5. Purchase of a new vehicle or property: Try not to buy a car, house or any other expensive item during Kharmas.
