Every 12° increase in the angular distance between the Sun and the Moon is called a Tithi. Generally, there are 30 Tithis in a lunar month according to the Hindu Panchang. Among these, there are 15 Tithis of Shukla Paksha and 15 Tithis of Krishna Paksha.
Shukla Paksha Tithis: Pratipada, Dwitiya, Trutiya, Chaturthi, Panchami, Shashti, Saptami, Ashtami, Navami, Dashami, Ekadashi, Dwadashi, Trayodashi, Chaturdashi, and Purnima.
