Questions
What is the tithi today?
Right now in New Delhi (19 October 2026) the tithi is Shukla Ashtami — from 18 Oct, 8:28 AM until 10:52 AM. Then Shukla Navami, until 20 Oct, 12:50 PM.
When does the next tithi begin?
Shukla Navami begins at 10:52 AM and runs until 20 Oct, 12:50 PM (New Delhi time).
Does the tithi change at the same time in every city?
Yes — the tithi is set by the angle between the Moon and the Sun, so the change happens at one instant worldwide; only the clock time zone differs. The tithi "of the day" is the one at each city's own sunrise, so it can occasionally differ between cities.
What a tithi is
A tithi is complete each time the Moon gains another 12° on the Sun. A lunar month has 30 — Pratipada to Purnima in the bright half (Shukla paksha), Pratipada to Amavasya in the dark half (Krishna paksha). The Moon’s speed varies, so a tithi lasts roughly 19 to 26 hours.
For fasts and festivals, a day takes the tithi running at sunrise (udaya tithi). So a tithi sometimes holds two sunrises (vriddhi), and sometimes one touches none (kshaya). A few observances — pradosh, sankashti — are judged by the tithi at sunset or moonrise instead.
