Namaskar India - Tales from Indian History and Mythology

Tithi: A Lunar Odyssey | Concept of Time Series


Listen Later

This episode uncovers the captivating world of tithis, the lunar days that form the core of the Hindu calendar. We delve into their calculation based on the moon's celestial dance and explore the two dominant systems, Amavasyanta and Purnimanta. We uncover the fascinating phenomena of Tithi Vrddhi and Tithi Kshaya, caused by the moon's varying speed due to its elliptical orbit.
