Introduction

Apparently, Khar Mass, also known as Mal Mas in the Hindu panchang, spans a duration of 30 days.It is also called Paush Mas.

Date of Khar Mas

Significance of Khar Mas

Moreover, Khar Mas is the month of Hindu Panchang where all the auspicious activities are prohibited. It is advised to perform all religious activities like donations, meditation, tap, fasting and teerth yatra etc.

Story behind Khar Mas

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 Khar Mas.
