Lunar Tithis & Moon Shapes — Interactive Guide
Walk day by day through Shukla and Krishna Paksha; see how the moon’s face teaches growth and release
In Sanatana Dharma, time is measured not only by solar months but by lunar tithis. Each night the moon’s illuminated fraction shifts—fifteen days of brightening (Shukla Paksha) and fifteen of softening into new-moon stillness (Krishna Paksha). Use the interactive orb to scrub through each tithi, read its Sanskrit name, and contemplate the spiritual mood of that shape.
Illumination is an approximate teaching model for visualization (not an ephemeris). Actual tithi timing depends on longitude of Sun and Moon.
