All about Tithi Pravesh

  Before we go to learn all about the Tithi Pravesh, let us first know what  Tithi is.  What is Tithi and how is it calculated? Tithi is the Vedic date based on the luni-solar calendar. It is measured on the basis of longitudes of the sun and Moon. The Sun and Moon make angles as they move on. The total movement of these two luminaries make 360° angle between them in a month. By dividing 360° by 30 (total days of a month) we get a measure of 12° called a Tithi. Therefore, Tithi is a date that is derived by calculating the angular distance between the Sun and Moon. As the angular distance increases at the measure of 12°, the next tithi comes in. There are 30 tithis (360°÷12°=30) in total in a month. The tithis are grouped in two equal divisions: Sukla Paksha (bright half) and Krishna Paksha (dark half). The moment or point of time, the longitudes of Sun and Moon become exactly the same or in other words, form an angle of 0° or perfectly conjunct that point marks the ending m
