Pratipada Tithi (प्रतिपदा)

Shukla Paksha

First lunar day after new/full moon - symbolizes fresh beginnings and initiatory energy. Ruled by Brahma (creator) in Shukla Paksha and Agni (fire) in Krishna Paksha.

Shukla Pratipada is more auspicious than Krishna. Avoid completion ceremonies, endings, and final rituals. Excellent for Griha Pravesh (housewarming) and starting education.

•Griha Pravesh
Best Avoided
•Completion rituals
