Story behind Kharmas 2024
However, according to ancient texts, Suryadev runs his chariot on seven horses throughout the year to maintain the schedule and rotation of day and night.
Once, while running, the horses of Lord Sun felt thirsty and requested their master for a break to drink water. Although Lord Sun couldn’t stop, he was in a dilemma. Suddenly, he noticed two donkeys drinking water by the riverside. He enlisted those donkeys for his chariot, allowing the horses to quench their thirst.
Consequently, the slower pace of donkeys extended the journey to 30 days to complete the round. Additionally, ‘Khar’ is the Sanskrit word for donkeys, giving rise to the term Kharmas.
