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, Panchami lasted from 21 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 Panchami suits
Purna tithi, by Muhurta Chintamani’s five groups
Purna (full): any shubh work: the fullest of the five.
- Shukla Panchami: devata Nag Devta
- Krishna Panchami: devata Nag Devta
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
