Tritiya is the Shukla Paksha tithi (lunar day) ruled by Vishnu, falling in the Jaya category per Bṛhat Saṁhitā Ch 99.

What is Tritiya suitable for?

Tritiya is suitable for construction, victory 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.
