It is through the phases of the moon that the dates and festivals in the lunar month are determined. There are two sides in a lunar month. One Shukla Paksha and the other Krishna Paksha During the Shukla Paksha, the moon continuously increases day by day and is in its full form on the full moon day on the last day of the Shukla Paksha.

Teej and festivals coming in Indian culture have a deep connection with astrology. The importance of Mauni Amavasya is also associated with religion as well as astrology. According to Vedic astrology, Mauni Amavasya is celebrated when the Moon and the Sun congregate together in Capricorn during the month of Magha.
