Frequently asked questions about Tithi Kshaya Dosha
What is a Tithi Kshaya?
A lunar day so short that it begins and ends between two sunrises and is therefore lost from the calendar. It happens when the Moon moves quickly relative to the Sun. It is also called Avama or a decayed tithi.
How is it estimated here?
From the Moon-Sun relative speed at the moment of birth - a short tithi is kshaya-prone. That is an estimate of the condition rather than a check against a published panchang, which would need the sunrise times for the specific location.
What does it indicate?
A subtle compressed-time quality, described as a sense of things moving fast around the birth. This is among the most understated readings in the dosha set, and the registry is explicit that it is a minor factor for a life as a whole.
Is it something to act on?
Not really. There is no significant remedy prescribed because there is no significant affliction described. It is a panchang curiosity worth knowing about, best read alongside the full birth Panchang.
What is the opposite condition?
Tithi Vriddhi - a tithi so long it spans two sunrises and repeats on the calendar. One comes from the Moon moving fast, the other from it moving slowly. They are the two ends of the same variation.
What is Tithi Kshaya Dosha?
Tithi Kshaya Dosha is read from a Tithi Kshaya (also Avama or decayed tithi) - a lunar day so short that it starts and ends between two sunrises and is "lost" from the calendar. It happens when the Moon moves fast relative to the Sun. This tool estimates the condition from the Moon–Sun speed at birth: a short tithi is kshaya-prone.
It is a subtle panchang factor, not a major planetary curse. Classical muhurta treats a decayed tithi with care for certain rites; birth under a kshaya-prone tithi is a fine timing detail rather than a defining life dosha. Some natives simply carry a quicker lunar rhythm in how days and events feel.
How much it matters depends on the rest of the panchang and the birth chart. Enter your exact birth date, time and place so the lunar day length can be estimated correctly, and read Tithi Kshaya within the full chart. Used this way it is a fine-grained timing note for awareness and simple care, not a mark of misfortune. The faster Moon–Sun motion at birth is the astronomical root behind the "lost" calendar tithi. Keep the response light and proportionate - this is a fine panchang detail, not a heavy planetary curse. A fast Moon–Sun motion at birth is the only astronomical claim this page makes.
Tithi Kshaya Dosha is this one affliction on its own page, not a full dosha scan and not a neighbour with a similar name. Weigh it next to Doshas in Kundli and Kundli remedies. The chart those placements sit on is the Kundli Maker.
