Rules of Kartik month: In Sanatan Dharma, the month of Kartik is considered one of the most sacred and auspicious months. Which has started from today i.e. Wednesday, October 8 and will continue till November 5, 2025. This month is not only important from the religious point of view, but the virtuous deeds, fasting and worship done in it give inexhaustible results.

But it is said in the scriptures that if some mistakes are made in this holy month, it can have adverse effects. These mistakes can take away happiness and prosperity from a person’s home and can lead to poverty. In such a situation, let us know which tasks should be avoided in the month of Kartik.

Do not do these things even by mistake in the month of Kartik:

consumption of tamasic food

It is said that, one should not consume meat, fish, eggs, liquor and smoking in the month of Kartik. This is the month to live a virtuous life and have control over the senses.

Let us tell you, in this month one should also avoid Tamasic foods like onion and garlic. It is believed that eating tamasic food disturbs the purity of mind and body and does not yield the results of worship.

body oiling

According to astrologers, in the month of Kartik, apart from eating tamasic food, one should also avoid applying oil on the body for the entire month. However, applying oil on the body on Chaturdashi (Nark Chaturdashi) of Krishna Paksha of Kartik month is considered auspicious. Therefore, avoid applying oil for the entire month except this one day.

hair and nail cutting
