[[File:Tithi Calculation.jpg|thumb|image to understand the calculation of tithi]]{{Hinduism}}
A Hindu ''[[muhurta]]'' (forty-eight minute duration) can be represented in five attributes of Hindu astronomy namely, ''[[weekday|vara]]'' the weekday, ''tithi'', ''[[nakshatra]]'' the Moon's asterism, ''[[yoga]]'' the angular relationship between Sun and Moon and ''karana'' half of tithi.

''Tithi'' plays an important role along with ''nakshatra'' in Hindus' daily as well as special activities in selecting the ''muhurta''. There are auspicious ''tithis'' as well as inauspicious ''tithis'', each considered more propitious for some purposes than for other.

There are 30 ''tithis'' in each [[lunar month]], named as:
