What is a Tithi? · तिथि क्या है?

A tithi is the time the Moon takes to gain 12° on the Sun. Thirty tithis make one lunar month, divided into the waxing Shukla Paksha (new moon to full moon) and the waning Krishna Paksha (full moon to new moon). Festivals and fasts are fixed by tithi, which is why Diwali or Ekadashi fall on different English dates each year.

तिथि वह समय है जिसमें चंद्रमा सूर्य से 12° आगे बढ़ता है। एक चंद्र मास में 30 तिथियाँ होती हैं — शुक्ल पक्ष (बढ़ता चंद्रमा) और कृष्ण पक्ष (घटता चंद्रमा)।
