This tool shows on which date your tithi birthday comes next. You also get the next days of your birth nakshatra.
🔒 The calculation happens only on your phone or browser. Your details are never sent anywhere. If you tick "Remember", they stay only on this phone.
The short answer: the birth tithi is the tithi on which you were born, and the tithi birthday comes every year in the same tithi and month. The lunar year is about 354 days, so it keeps shifting from the English date. Enter your birth date above, then read below.

How To Read Your Result · Birthday by Hindu Date
| Result | What It Means |
|---|---|
| Tithi and month of birth | The tithi at sunrise on your birth day, fortnight, lunar month and nakshatra |
| Date every year | When that tithi comes in the coming years, in English dates |
| Kshaya tithi | If that tithi came at no sunrise, the tool says which day was taken |
How The Tithi Birthday Is Made · Birthday by Hindu Date
A tithi is a distance of 12° between the Moon and the Sun. 30 tithis make a lunar month of about 29.5 days, and 12 months a lunar year of about 354 days.
The English year is 365 days, so the tithi shifts about 11 days earlier every year. To manage this an adhika masa is added about every three years, so it does not keep going back.
That is why the tithi birthday keeps moving to and fro within about a month of the English birthday.
For a birthday the name of the month is taken by the amanta system, and a tithi falling in the adhika month is left out.
Our Count · Birthday by Hindu Date
We took 58 random births between 1985 and 2009 and found their tithi birthday in each year from 2027 to 2038, that is 690 birthdays.
The average distance from the English birthday was 9.7 days, and the most 28 days. Within 10 days in 59.7% of years and within 15 days in 79.0%.
Exactly on the same English date in only 2.8% of years. In 5.5% of years that tithi came at no sunrise, and the nearby day was taken.
The meaning: those who celebrate the tithi birthday celebrate it on a different date every year, and this is normal.
Common Beliefs And The Truth · Birthday by Hindu Date
| Common Belief | The Truth |
|---|---|
| The tithi birthday falls on the same date every year | No. The lunar year is shorter, so the date shifts, and only in 2.8% of years is it the same. |
| Celebrating the English birthday is wrong | No. Both can be celebrated. The tithi birthday is of tradition. |
| Birth in a kshaya tithi is inauspicious | No. 5.5% of birthdays are so. It is only a matter of calculation. |
| The month of birth is like the English month | No. The lunar month is different, like Chaitra or Bhadrapada. |
