Tithi Kshaya Dosha Calculator
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.
Frequently asked questions about Tithi Kshaya Dosha
What are the effects of Tithi Kshaya Dosha?
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 is Tithi Kshaya Dosha checked in my Kundli?
Tithi Kshaya Dosha is read from your sidereal (Lahiri) birth chart. Enter your exact date, time and place of birth and the calculator computes the planetary positions and house placements, checks the classical conditions for Tithi Kshaya Dosha, and shows whether it is present and how strong it is.
Can Tithi Kshaya Dosha be cancelled or reduced?
Many doshas carry recognised cancellations (parihara) and traditional remedies such as mantra, daan and puja. Tithi Kshaya Dosha should be weighed in the context of the whole chart and its strength, not from the label alone.
Do I need my exact birth time to check Tithi Kshaya Dosha?
Yes. Tithi Kshaya Dosha depends on the ascendant and house positions, which shift with the birth time — so enter the exact time with the correct AM/PM and pick your city from the suggestions for an accurate result.
