About Meena Kharmas
The second Kharmas falls when the sun is in Pisces, from about 14 March to 13 April, between the winter wedding season and the spring one. Weddings are not held in most of north India, and in Bengal the month of Chaitra is not used for marriages either. It ends with Mesha Sankranti, about 14 April, the new year of many Hindu calendars.
