News Topical, Digital Desk : Each month is divided into two parts: Krishna Paksha and Shukla Paksha, depending on the phases of the moon. The 15 days between the full moon and the new moon are called Krishna Paksha, while the 15 days between the new moon and the full moon are called Shukla Paksha. Some festivals are celebrated on Udaya Tithi (Udaya Tithi Importance), and there is a very special reason behind this. Let's learn more about it.
What is Udaya Tithi?
Udaya Tithi is the date that begins with sunrise. When a Tithi begins with sunrise in the first prahar (quarter), it is called Udaya Tithi. For example, if a Tithi begins at noon or evening and ends the next morning, afternoon, or evening, then the festival or fast observed on Udaya Tithi will be valid the following day.
Because the tithi was in effect at sunrise the next day. Even if the tithi ends early that day, the fast or festival is considered effective for the entire day.
This is the reason
The reason behind celebrating certain fasts and festivals on the Udaya Tithi is that in Hinduism, sunrise is considered very auspicious and sacred. Furthermore, according to the Hindu calendar, the day begins in Brahma Muhurta, which is considered to be the Udaya Tithi. It is also seen as a symbol of the positive energy that prevails in the atmosphere during sunrise. Therefore, observing a fast or festival on the Udaya Tithi brings auspicious results.
Fasts and festivals celebrated on the Udaya Tithi are Ganesh Chaturthi, Ram Navami, Hanuman Jayanti, Raksha Bandhan, Bhai Dooj, Govardhan Puja, Pitru Paksha and Chhath Puja etc.
Fasts and festivals celebrated at night - Diwali, Dussehra, Naraka Chaturdashi, Navratri, Shivratri, Holi, Janmashtami and Lohri etc.
