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, Tritiya 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 Tritiya suits
Jaya tithi, by Muhurta Chintamani’s five groups
Jaya (victory): a case, an exam, a contest, a hard conversation.
- Shukla Tritiya: devata Gauri
- Krishna Tritiya: devata Gauri
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
