FAQ

What is Dashami Krishna tithi?

Dashami is the Krishna Paksha tithi (lunar day) ruled by Dharma, falling in the Purna category per Bṛhat Saṁhitā Ch 99.

What is Dashami suitable for?

Dashami is suitable for construction, griha-pravesha. Combine with a Dhruva (fixed) nakshatra for best results.

Can the tithi alone decide a muhurta?

No — the pañcāṅga uses five limbs: tithi, vāra (weekday), nakshatra, yoga, karaṇa. A strong tithi must be combined with a favourable nakshatra and karaṇa to be fully auspicious.
