What is Dwadashi (Krishna)?

Dwadashi (Krishna) is observed in both household and temple traditions. The tithi quality is interpreted with nakshatra, weekday, yoga, and karana before deciding vrat, travel, or auspicious ceremonies. In daily practice, tithi is interpreted with sunrise timing, regional observance rules, and nakshatra combination. This is why two nearby cities can observe the same vrat on adjacent Gregorian dates when tithi boundaries cross after local sunrise.

AstroTithi uses astronomical calculations to track live tithi transitions and help users plan fasting, puja, and major activities with location-specific precision.
