Kharmas, a special period running from March 14 to April 13, 2024, marks a time when certain donations can wield remarkable influence. Despite its lack of auspiciousness due to planetary alignments, Kharmas holds significance for those seeking prosperity and peace.

During Kharmas, homage is paid to Lord Surya (Sun) and Lord Vishnu, with bathing and donations at religious sites being customary. Observing Ekadashi fasts and offering kheer with Tulsi leaves to Lord Vishnu are traditional practices during this time.

Donating in accordance with Kharmas dates can bring unique benefits. Here's a breakdown of what to donate on each date:

• Donate a silver vessel filled with ghee for mental peace.
• Give gold in a copper vessel for household wealth.
• Offer chickpeas for happiness.
• Donate barley for profits.
• Contribute jaggery for increased respect.
• Provide medicines to ward off illnesses.
• Donate red sandalwood for strength and intelligence.
• Offer sandalwood for courage.
• Give saffron for good fortune.
• Donate musk to fulfill desires.
• On Ekadashi, offer camphor to enhance intellect.
• On Dwadashi, donate conch shells for wealth.
• Give temple bells on Trayodashi for family happiness.
• Offer a white pearl on Chaturdashi to dispel mental disturbances.
• On Purnima, donate gems for financial gains.
• On Amavasya, contribute wheat flour to alleviate troubles.

Donating utensils during Kharmas is also highly auspicious, believed to ease tensions and conflicts according to astrology. Donating brass or copper utensils can strengthen Guru Brihaspati's position in one's birth chart.

Make the most of Kharmas by donating wisely and reaping the benefits of this auspicious period.
