What is Tithi in Hindu Calender

by Astro Ved Online Astrology Consultation

Pratipada is the first date of the Lunar month. Every Lunar month has 30 dates. There are two Pakshas in a Lunar month, Shukla Paksha and Krishna Paksha. Each Paksha has fourteen dates. The first date of each Paksha is Pratipada. In Hindu Panchanga, it is the first date.

 

How is Pratipada Calculated?


From Pratipada of Shukla Paksha, the moon commences its movement towards fullness. The difference of Moon from Sun is 0 to 12 Degrees. This difference of 12 degrees constitutes one Tithi, which is called Pratipada of Shukla Paksha. The other Pratipada, which falls in Krishna Paksha, is from 180 degrees to 192 degrees.

 

Deity of Pratipada Tithi


Each Tithi has its own deity. Agni is the deity of PratipadaTithi. A native born on this Tithi should worship Agni as it can benefit them.

If Pratipada is on Sunday and Tuesday, it is regarded as death-giving; hence, any auspicious work should not be done on this day. But, if Pratipada falls on a Friday, it is considered Siddha, and any work done on this day will bring success and good results. Pratipada of Bhadrapada month is regarded as zero. Shiva resides in the cremation ground, so Pratipada of Shukla Paksha is seen as death-giving. Worshipping Shiva on Krishna Paksha is auspicious. Reciting the Maha Mrityunjaya Mantra and doing Rudrabhishek gives auspicious results.
