It is also an auspicious time for shopping and you can donate to needy people every day as per your capacity. On December 15, at 10:19 pm, the Sun will move out of Scorpio and enter Jupiter’s zodiac Sagittarius. After this, Kharmas will end as soon as the Sun enters Capricorn on 14th January. No auspicious work can be done in this month.
During these days, there is a tradition of chanting, charity, river bathing and visiting pilgrimage sites.
During these days, there is a tradition of chanting, charity, river bathing and visiting pilgrimage sites. Due to this tradition, a large number of people come to take bath in the holy rivers during Kharmas days. Besides, the number of devotees also increases in temples of mythological importance.
Kharmas comes twice a year
Once a year the Sun enters Jupiter’s zodiac signs Sagittarius and Pisces. Thus Kharmas comes twice a year. The Sun is in conjunction with Jupiter for a month twice a year. This includes Sagittarius from 15th December to 14th January and Pisces from 15th March to 15th April, hence no auspicious work is done during these 2 months when Sun and Jupiter are in conjunction.
seasonal changes are caused by the sun
Seasons change due to the change in the zodiac sign of the Sun. Hemant season lasts during Kharmas. As the Sun enters Sagittarius, the days become shorter and the nights become longer. At the same time the weather also starts changing. Sun’s entry into Jupiter’s zodiac sign causes sudden unwanted changes in the weather. Therefore during Kharmas there are often clouds, fog, rain and snowfall.
