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, Dwitiya lasted from 20 to 27 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 Dwitiya suits
Bhadra tithi, by Muhurta Chintamani’s five groups
Bhadra (well-being; not the Vishti Bhadra): travel, a new home or vehicle, and work meant to last.
- Shukla Dwitiya: devata Brahma
- Krishna Dwitiya: devata Brahma
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 Dwitiya: the Moon 12° to 24° ahead of the Sun
- Krishna Dwitiya: the Moon 192° to 204° 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
