FAQ

What is Dwitiya Krishna tithi?

Dwitiya is the Krishna Paksha tithi (lunar day) ruled by Vidhatri, falling in the Bhadra category per Bṛhat Saṁhitā Ch 99.

What is Dwitiya suitable for?

Dwitiya is suitable for construction, marriage. 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.
