Kharmas And Chaitra Navratri 2026: In Sanatan Dharma, Panchak is considered an inauspicious period of five days. Auspicious and auspicious works are prohibited during Panchak. According to astrology, when the Moon passes through Dhanishtha Nakshatra (last phase), Shatabhisha Nakshatra, Purvabhadrapada Nakshatra, Uttarabhadrapada Nakshatra and Revati Nakshatra, then Panchak occurs. The Panchak of the month of March has ended.
This month, the five inauspicious days of Panchak started at 06.14 pm on Monday, March 16. Since this Panchak started on Monday, it was called Raj Panchak. This Raj Panchak has ended today at 02:27 pm. However, Kharmas is still going on and it will end on 14th April. Now the question in people’s mind is whether they can do auspicious work during Navratri amidst Kharmas? Let us know about this in detail.
when was Kharmas planted
Kharmas occurs when Lord Sun enters Jupiter’s zodiac sign Sagittarius or Pisces. During this period the influence of both Sun and Jupiter reduces. This is the reason that during this period, auspicious works and auspicious works like marriage, engagement, naming ceremony, house warming and Mundan Sanskar are stopped, because during this time, due to lack of influence of Sun and Jupiter, these works do not yield auspicious results. Kharmas was observed on 15th of this month. Since then all these auspicious and auspicious works have stopped.
There is a ban on auspicious works in view of Kharmas during Navratri.
The days of Navratri are very sacred, but because Kharmas is going on now, no auspicious or auspicious work can be done. In such a situation, there is still a ban on auspicious activities like marriage, engagement, naming ceremony, house warming and Mundan Sanskar. During Kharmas, worship, chanting, penance and havan etc. are not prohibited, hence despite being Kharmas during Navratri, keep doing goddess puja, fasting, havan etc.
