In Hindu culture and Vedic astrology, the importance of Shubh Muhurat (auspicious time) cannot be underestimated. This is why the beginning of Kharmas (also known as Malamas) brings an immediate pause on major life events like weddings, Griha Pravesh (house warming), engagements and launching of new ventures.

The period of Kharmas 2026 is especially important as it lasts for an entire month, during which the Sun transitions into a phase that influences the success and energy of our worldly endeavours.

Kharmas 2026: Key dates and times
As per Hindu calendar and astrological calculations, here are the essential dates of 2026:

Kharmas Start: March 15, 2026 (Starting from Meena Sankranti)
Start Time: Approx. 1:08 am

Kharmas ends: April 14, 2026 (ends with Mesha Sankranti)

What is Kharmas? (Astrology behind it)
In the field of astrology, Kharmas occurs when the Sun enters the signs ruled by Jupiter (Guru) – Sagittarius (Dhanu) or Pisces (Meena).

Since Jupiter is the planet governing auspicious ceremonies and the presence of the Sun in these signs is said to “weaken” its vital intensity, this period is considered unfavorable for materialistic ceremonies. Instead, it is a time designated for spiritual introspection and soul-purification.

Why do weddings stop during Kharmas?
A common question is: “Why are marriages prohibited in Kharmas?” Astrologically, the power of the Sun diminishes during this transit, meaning that any “sanskar” or ritual performed now lacks the divine life force necessary to achieve long-term happiness. It is advisable to avoid:

Weddings and Engagements: There may be lack of harmony in marital life.

Griha Pravesh (Grah Pravesh): Entering a new home now may invite stable energy.

New business startups: Investments made during this window often face unexpected hurdles.

Major purchases: Buying property or vehicles is generally avoided.

What to do during Kharmas? (spiritual practice)
While Kharmas is “opening-heavy”, it is a golden age for spiritual growth. This is the best time to recharge the energy inside you.

Surya Puja: Offer Arghya to the Sun every day and chant “Om Suryay Namah”.
Daan (Donation): Donation made now is believed to provide manifold blessings. It is highly advisable to give a pitcher filled with water, jaggery, sesame seeds and clothes.
Devotion to Lord Vishnu: Worshiping Lord Vishnu during Kharmas provides mental peace and removes karmic obstacles.

Marriage time after Kharmas 2026
As soon as the Sun enters Aries on April 14, 2026, Kharmas will end and the doors of auspicious time will open again. You will find many great wedding dates available in the last week of April and May 2026.

Astrological Remedy: Maximizing Kharmas Period
If Sun or Jupiter are weak in your horoscope, use this month to strengthen them:

Take blessings of parents and elders every morning.
Provide food to the needy or provide satvik food to scholars.
Chant Surya Mantras as advised by Astromadhupriya to boost your confidence and aura.

final thoughts
Kharmas is not just an “inauspicious” time; It is a divine interlude to pause, reflect and reconnect with the Almighty. From March 15th to April 14th, 2026, focus on self-improvement and wait for the stars to align for your big celebrations.
