Common questions

When does Krishna Paksha start in March 2028?

The Krishna Paksha window in March 2028: Chaitra Krishna Paksha from 11 Mar 2028 to 26 Mar 2028.

Why can one civil month have two windows?

A lunar fortnight is about 14–15 civil days, so a civil month usually contains one full Krishna Paksha and can also catch the tail of the previous one at the start of the month. The Hindu month label changes between the two windows.

Do these dates change by city?

The paksha itself is a Moon phase and does not depend on location, but the tithi at sunrise can differ by a day between time zones. This table uses the Mumbai India-baseline sunrise.
