In 2024, people planning weddings and other auspicious events will need to wait for a while, as Kharmas will begin on December 16, 2024. During this period, any type of auspicious work, such as marriages, housewarming, hair tonsure ceremonies, and naming rituals, is considered prohibited. Kharmas will end on January 16, 2025. After this, the schedule for weddings and other good deeds will begin. Kharmas is considered inauspicious in Hindu tradition. During this time, the Sun enters the Sagittarius zodiac sign, causing a halt to auspicious ceremonies. According to religious beliefs, this period is a time for gods to rest, which is why no auspicious events are held.
