Frequently asked questions
What is the difference between amanta and purnimanta?
An amanta month ends on Amavasya and is used in South and West India. A purnimanta month ends on Purnima and is used in North India. Tithis fall on the same days; only the month name of the Krishna Paksha differs.
Why can a tithi differ in my city?
The tithi shown is the one prevailing at sunrise in New Delhi. Sunrise differs from city to city, so when a tithi changes close to sunrise your city can show a different tithi that day. Open the Panchang for your city to check.
Why does a date sometimes repeat or skip a tithi?
A tithi can run from before one sunrise to after the next, so it shows on two days, or it can begin and end between two sunrises, so it shows on no day. Both are normal in the Hindu calendar.
