A tithi is kept on the day it is running at sunrise, so a tithi that begins after sunrise is usually kept the next day. In other cities the minutes shift with sunrise; the panchang gives your city.
Across these, Dashami lasted from 22 to 26 hours: a tithi is a 12° step of the Moon from the Sun, and the Moon moves faster near perigee, so no two are the same length.
What Dashami suits
Purna tithi, by Muhurta Chintamani’s five groups
Purna (full): any shubh work: the fullest of the five.
- Shukla Dashami: devata Yama
- Krishna Dashami: devata Yama
The groups repeat every five tithis: Nanda (1, 6, 11) for joy, Bhadra (2, 7, 12) for lasting work, Jaya (3, 8, 13) for victory, Rikta (4, 9, 14) for clearing, and Purna (5, 10, 15) for any good start. A muhurat also weighs the weekday, nakshatra and lagna. Muhurat
Shukla and Krishna
- Shukla Dashami: the Moon 108° to 120° ahead of the Sun
- Krishna Dashami: the Moon 288° to 300° ahead of the Sun
In the Shukla paksha the Moon waxes from the new Moon to the full; in the Krishna paksha it wanes back. The same tithi name comes twice a month, and the paksha is said with it.
All sixteen tithis
