March Kharmas 2026 Date: When the Sun is in Sagittarius or Pisces, this period is called Kharmas. Astrological belief holds that the Sun's influence weakens during this period, making it inauspicious for auspicious events such as marriages, housewarming ceremonies, and tonsure ceremonies.

According to the Hindu calendar, Karmas occur twice a year. The first time is when the Sun enters Sagittarius, which is known as Dhanu Sankranti. This usually falls between December and January. The second time is when the Sun enters Pisces, which falls in March and April. During this period, auspicious events such as marriage, sacred thread ceremony, ear piercing, housewarming, starting a new business, and naming ceremonies are considered prohibited. Let's find out when Kharmas begins in 2026 and how long it will last.

When does Kharmas begin in March?

In the year 2026, the Sun will enter Pisces on March 14th at 1:08 am. This transit of the Sun will mark the beginning of Kharmas. This period will last for approximately one month and end on April 14th, 2026. Kharmas will conclude with the Sun entering Aries on April 14th. This will mark the resumption of auspicious times for auspicious events.

Auspicious Functions Prohibited

Marriages and other auspicious ceremonies are not permitted during Kharmas. According to astrological beliefs, auspicious events performed during this time are considered less likely to be successful. Therefore, it is recommended that weddings, engagements, or other major family ceremonies be held only after this period.

Don't Do These Things During Kharmas

No wedding-related events should be held during this time.

Buying a new house or property is also considered inauspicious. Purchasing a vehicle should also be avoided.

Auspicious functions such as housewarming are not performed during this period.

Traditional rituals like the Mundan ceremony and Namkaran (naming ceremony) are also postponed during this time.

However, Kharmas is not considered entirely inauspicious. From a religious perspective, this time is considered auspicious for worship and charity. Special prayers and worship of the Sun God during this period are considered auspicious. Furthermore, performing Shraddha (shraadh) or Tarpan (offerings) in memory of one's ancestors and forefathers is also considered virtuous.
