What is a Tithi in Vedic Astrology?

The time it takes for the Moon to elongate 12 degrees from the Sun is known as a Tithi, or lunar day, in Vedic astrology. A lunar month has 30 Tithis, which are split equally between the waxing (Shukla Paksha) and waning (Krishna Paksha) phases. Every Tithi has a unique meaning and is connected to particular gods, which affects how auspicious the day’s activities are.

Tithis are essential in establishing the best times for festivals, rituals, and private pursuits. People can increase the efficacy of their endeavours by coordinating their actions with the energies of particular Tithis. Every Tithi is linked to a particular deity or energy, which affects the characteristics of the day and the results of the things done.

Here is a detailed list of Tithis along with their associated Lords:
