When it comes to Panchang, Tithi is its vital part. To simplify, Tithi is a day of Hindu Chandra Maas. According to these dates only, day, festival, fast, birthdays, death anniversary, etcetera are calculated.
Before knowing Today's Tithi, it is very important to know that in a month there are a total of 30 dates in which Amavasya and Purnima Tithi fall once every month and other Tithis come twice. The first 15 Tithis fall in Shukla Paksha and the last 15 Tithis in Krishna Paksha.
When the moon is 12 degrees from the Sun, that is the time when a Tithi is considered complete.
Now the question is, why is Today's Tithi in Panchang given so much importance? The answer to this question is, in Hindu culture, before doing any auspicious work, Auspicious Muhurat is calculated. It is believed that if any work is done in the Auspicious Muhurat, it will be more fruitful.
