FAQ

What is Panchami Krishna tithi?

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

What is Panchami suitable for?

Panchami is suitable for construction, purchase. 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.
