FAQ

What is Ekadashi Krishna tithi?

Ekadashi is the Krishna Paksha tithi (lunar day) ruled by Rudra, falling in the Nanda category per Bṛhat Saṁhitā Ch 99.

What is Ekadashi suitable for?

Ekadashi is suitable for griha-pravesha, entry rituals. 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.
