Thithi

Tithi is the date according to the Hindu lunar calendar. The Hindu lunar calendar consists of a dark and a bright fortnight. Completion of 12 degrees of movement on that of Sun is called a Tithi or Hindu Day. There are 30 tithis in a lunar month. Tithis are shown in two major halves called Pakshas, Shukla Paksha and Krishna Paksha. There are several rituals and festivals associated with the Tithi. Tithi is significant from point of view of undertaking some rituals and functions as most of the Hindu festivals fall on the new moon day or the full moon day.
The Hindu Tithis are classified into 5 types:

• Nanda Tithi – Bestows happiness, enjoyment.

• Bhadra Tithi - Auspicious for stating new work

• Jaya Tithi - Auspicious for winning over enemies.

• Rikta Tithi – To be avoided for any important work.

• Poorna Tithi – Auspicious to complete all jobs.

Shukla Paksha : Shukla Paksha are the 15 Tithis starting from New Moon to Full Moon ( Poornima).

Krishna Paksha: Krishna Paksha are the 15 Tithis starting from the Full Moon to New Moon ( Amavasya).

Tithi Hindu Name Name 1 Pratipada Nanda 2 Dvitiya Bhadra 3 Tritiya Jaya 4 Chaturthi Rikta 5 Panchami Poorna 6 Shashthi Nanda 7 Saptmi Bhadra 8 Ashtami Jaya 9 Navami Rikta 10 Dashmi Poorna 11 Ekadashi Nanda 12 Dwadashi Bhadra 13 Tryodashi Jaya 14 Chaturdashi Rikta 15 Poornima Poorna

Note: It is important to note that starting or ending of a Tithi depends upon the degree of Moon from that of Sun therefore a Tithi ends or starts at any time in a day not like the Modern Time when a date changes at midnight
