📖 About Today's Tithi
🌙 What is a Tithi?
A lunar month has 30 Tithis — 15 in Shukla Paksha (waxing moon) and 15 in Krishna Paksha (waning moon). Shukla Paksha runs from Pratipada to Purnima (full moon), and Krishna Paksha from Pratipada to Amavasya (new moon). Each Tithi has its own presiding deity and significance.
🙏 Why Check the Tithi?
Any auspicious activity — marriage, housewarming, fasting, tonsure — yields better results when done on the right Tithi. Tithis like Ekadashi, Purnima and Amavasya are considered especially meritorious. Knowing the daily Tithi is therefore valuable for every Hindu.
