Birthday & Marriage Tithi Finder
Embrace the timeless Hindu tradition. Find the exact Lunar Date (Tithi) for your special occasions to celebrate them when the cosmic energy is truly aligned with your birth or union.
Quick Summary (Key Takeaways)
- Concept: Gregorian dates (e.g., Aug 15) are Solar. Hindu celebrations are Lunar.
- The Shift: Because the Lunar year is ~11 days shorter than the Solar year, your Vedic Birthday shifts every year.
- Benefits: Celebrating on the Tithi is said to increase Ayush (Longevity) and remove obstacles.
- Accuracy: This tool adjusts for Adhika Masa (Extra Month) and location changes.
Calculate Your Vedic Anniversary
Enter the original date, time, and location of the event (Birth or Marriage).
Why the "Date" is not the "Day"
In Sanatana Dharma, time is measured by the distance between the Sun and the Moon. A Tithi is a 12-degree separation between them. Your "Birthday" is actually the day when the Sun and Moon return to the exact same relative angle as when you were born. This is called Tithi Pravesh.
