What is Tithi (तिथि)? — The Hindu Lunar Day Explained

Tithi is a lunar day in the Hindu calendar, representing the angular relationship between the Sun and Moon. Unlike solar days which are 24 hours, a Tithi can vary between 19 to 26 hours. There are 30 Tithis in a lunar month, divided into two pakshas (fortnights): Shukla Paksha (waxing moon, bright fortnight) and Krishna Paksha (waning moon, dark fortnight). Each Tithi has its own deity, nature, and significance for various activities. For important ceremonies and life events, consulting with a Jyotishi ensures alignment with your personal birth chart alongside these traditional associations.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the difference between Tithi and a regular day?

A Tithi is a lunar day based on the Moon's position relative to the Sun, lasting 19-26 hours, while a solar day is fixed at 24 hours. Tithis are used for religious and auspicious timing.

Why do Tithi timings vary by location?

Tithi end times are calculated based on precise astronomical positions visible from your location, so they change with geographical coordinates and time zones.

Which Tithis are most auspicious?

Generally, Purnima (full moon), Ekadashi, Dashami, Tritiya, and Dwitiya are considered highly auspicious for most activities. However, specific Tithis are favorable for specific purposes.

Can I start new work on any Tithi?

Shubh (auspicious) Tithis are best for new beginnings. Avoid starting important ventures on Krura (cruel) Tithis unless specifically prescribed for that activity.

How does Tithi affect daily life?

Tithis influence the quality of time and energy available for different activities. Aligning important events with favorable Tithis can enhance success and reduce obstacles.
