Krishna Paksha refers to the waning phase of the lunar month in the Hindu calendar. It begins after the full moon and lasts until the new moon. During this period, the moon's illumination decreases, symbolizing a time of introspection and reflection. In Hindu tradition, Krishna Paksha is often associated with various religious observances and rituals. Many devotees engage in fasting and prayer during this time, believing it to be an auspicious period for spiritual growth and self-discipline. The phase is significant in the context of festivals and celebrations, particularly those related to Lord Krishna.
