According to the Hindu Panchang, the period of Kharmaas will end on April 14, marking the beginning of auspicious activities. During the Kharmaas period, auspicious rituals like weddings, housewarming, mundan, and thread ceremonies are considered inauspicious. However, once Kharmaas ends, the period of favorable occasions will return. From April to June, there will be a total of 38 days with auspicious timings for weddings.
Why Auspicious Works Are Not Performed During Kharmaas
Kharmaas refers to the time when the Sun enters the Pisces (Meen) zodiac. This period is considered inauspicious because the Sun’s position is believed to be weak during this time. According to Hindu beliefs, the fruits of auspicious activities during this period are not as expected, which is why wedding-related activities are postponed. Kharmaas is considered a time for charity, chanting, penance, and devotion to God. During this period, the Sun enters the zodiac sign of Jupiter, focusing on serving his guru, which reduces the influence of worldly matters.
Commencement of Auspicious Activities:
With the Sun entering Aries (Mesha) on April 14, Kharmaas will conclude, and the auspicious period of Vaishakha month will begin. Following this, favorable wedding timings will start. According to priests and Panchang experts, from April 14 to June 30, there will be a total of 38 days considered highly auspicious for weddings. Most of these favorable dates fall in May.
Some Key Auspicious Dates:
- April: 14 to 21 (continuous), 25, 26, 29, and 30.
- May: 1, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 22, 23, 24, and 28.

Importance of the Sun, Jupiter, and Venus in Wedding Dates
