What Is a Tithi? Its Meaning in the Hindu Panchang
Tithi is the first and most important of the five limbs (Tithi, Vaar, Nakshatra, Yoga, Karana) of the Hindu Panchang. It is based on the phase of the Moon, and every vrat, festival, and auspicious muhurat is decided by the tithi.
Shukla Paksha and Krishna Paksha
A lunar month is divided into two fortnights. In the Shukla Paksha the Moon waxes (from Amavasya to Purnima), and in the Krishna Paksha it wanes (from Purnima to Amavasya). Each paksha has 15 tithis.
The 15 Tithis
- Pratipada
- Dwitiya
- Tritiya
- Chaturthi
- Panchami
- Shashthi
- Saptami
- Ashtami
- Navami
- Dashami
- Ekadashi
- Dwadashi
- Trayodashi
- Chaturdashi
- Purnima (end of Shukla Paksha) / Amavasya (end of Krishna Paksha)
Tithi and Hindu Festivals
Most major Hindu festivals are set by the tithi, not the English date - which is why their dates shift every year. A few examples:
- Ekadashi - the 11th tithi of each paksha (fasting)
- Ganesh Chaturthi - Shukla Chaturthi of Bhadrapada
- Janmashtami - Krishna Ashtami of Bhadrapada
- Ram Navami - Shukla Navami of Chaitra
- Navratri - Pratipada to Navami
- Mahashivratri - Krishna Chaturdashi of Phalguna
- Guru Purnima - Purnima of Ashadha
Religious Significance of Tithi
Fasts and festivals follow the tithi - the Ekadashi fast, Ganesh puja on Chaturthi, Devi worship on Ashtami–Navami, and the special rituals of Purnima and Amavasya. For religious observances, the tithi prevailing at sunrise (udaya tithi) is taken for the whole day. For any auspicious muhurat, the tithi is read together with the nakshatra and vaar.
