What Saptami means
A tithi is a lunar day: the time the Moon takes to move 12° further from the Sun. Thirty make a lunar month, fifteen in the waxing half (Shukla paksha) and fifteen in the waning half (Krishna paksha). Saptami comes twice a month, once in each half.
Bhadra, the auspicious: good for lasting work, health and steady undertakings.
