Saints named almost 60 such Lunar years or Samvatsaras... Which repeat in cyclic order for every 60 years..,
They divided each Paksha into 15 thithies... Each thithi is having an angle of 12 degrees... that is... when the angle between the Sun and the Moon is in the range of 0-11 degrees, corresponding thithi is called 'Amavaasya', between 12 to 23 'Vidiya', between 24 to 35 'Dwitheeya'... 'Thadiya' ... Chaturdhi... Panchami and so on...
Now, Seers were able to mention TIME of Shubmuhoortas as following...
''Favourable muhoorta for your marriage is in Vikrama nama samvatsara, Maagha maasa, Shukla paksha on Panchami thithi''...
And thus they recorded the events as mentioned above...
So, Seers were able to divide the TIME upto smallest period of a ''Thithi''...
1 Samvatsaram = 1 Year (Approx.)
1 Maasam = 1 Month (Approx.)
1 Paksha = 15 days (Approx.)
1 Thithi = 1 Day (Approx.)
1 Samvatsaram = 12 Maasams
1 Maasam = 30 Thithies
Saints also considered some thithies as beneficiary and some are malefitiary or neutral in nature... These days also people believe that Panchami, Dasami etc are beneficiary for Muhoortas, while, Amavaasya, Ashtami etc are not... !
