Just wanted to share this.

In the Indian Lunar based calendar, each month is divided into two parts. The Shukla Paksha (The White Section) and Krishna Paksha ( The Black Section). Shukla Paksha is the 15 day period from New moon to Full moon. The 15th day is called Poornima (usually considered Auspicious).The Krishna Paksha starts from the Full moon day to the New Moon day ending on Amawasya ( considered somewhat inauspicious, though the Diwali the most popular Hindu festival is celebrated on Amavasya).
