Tritiya
Tritiya (Sanskrit: 'third') is the third day in the lunar fortnight (Paksha) of the Hindu calendar. Each TAMIL PANCHANGA month has two Tritiya days, being the third day of the "bright" (Shukla) and of the "dark" (Krishna) fortnights respectively. Thus Tritiya occurs on the third and the eighteenth day of each month.
Festivals
- Teej, a festival for Hindu women, occurs on Tritiya in the month of Shraavana.
