what is called shukla and Krishna Paksha? Paksha is a fortnight in a month of the Hindu lunar calendar. Literally meaning side or period, that is either side of the Full Moon Day or Purnima. Each month is divided into two fortnights, the period between New Moon Day and Full Moon Day is called Shukla paksha and the second fortnight of the month is called Krishna-Paksha, or the period of the fading moon. Paksha comprises 15 fifteen days. In Hindu Astrology the lunnar system of counting counts the days from the next first day after full Moon, which is called Pratipada, upto the day of New Moon is known as Krishna Paksha.The Hindu Calendar question is based on the cycle of the moon. The first 15 days when the moon is waxing which is the bright fortnight is called the Shukla paksha. The 15 days when the moon is waning, the dark fortnight is called the Krishna paksha. Why Krishna Paksha is generally regarded as inauspicious? The word “tithi” means date in Hindi. It is formed on the basis of relative distance between sun and moon. In a lunar month there are 30 tithis. The first 15 tithis make up the Shukal Paksha(Bright Half). The next 15 tithi together form Krishna Paksha(Dark half). The 15th tithi of Shukla Paksha is called Poornima because at this time the moon is at maximum distance from the sun. The 15th tithi of Krishna Paksha is called amavasya. Here the moon is closest to the sun. The moon starts loosing its energy after beginning of Krishna Paksha. That is why the Krishna Paksha is not considered auspicious generally. Why the spiritual qualities of both these pakshas are different? Shukla paksha is auspicious to start working on a new project and for the expansion of business. Krishna paksha should not be considered for any major surgery.In the Purusha Sukta you will find:-Chandrama Manaso Jatah- the Moon is born of the mind of the Virat Purusha or cosmic being.In the cosmos, the Moon is controlled by the cosmic mind. The individual mind being a speck of the cosmic mind has therefore the connection with the Moon, and being only a speck it feels controlled by the Moon.When the Moon waxes and wanes, its connection with the mind also fluctuates and thus, there arises a sympathetic reaction in the mind. Hence, the relationship between the flow of the breath and the lunar days.” @i read your addl details and my answer continues: Shraddh or Shradh offered during Pitri Paksha (dark fortnight or Krishna Paksha) in the month of Ashwin or Ashwini (September – October) is of great importance in Hindu religion. Shraddh, also known as Tarpan, is the ceremonies and rituals performed for the departed souls of dead ancestors in Hinduism. Pitri Paksha Shradh is a period of 15 days and the most important day is the Mahalaya day. It is believed that the souls will attain peace by the Shraddh rituals performed during the fortnight. Krishna jamashtami, vaikunta ekadasi, Mahashivaratri and deepavali etc.,takes place during krishna paksha times.Suklapaksha is from New Moon to Full Moon. Krishnapaksha is from full moon to new moon. From the 10th day of suklapaksha to the 5th day of Krishna paksha the period is considered astrologically auspicious.

Good answer is already given by the last two, I agree with them.Shukla paksha id first half of the month, ends with full moon(Pournima),krishna paksha is the second half of the month ending with Amavasya.
Uttarayana is first half of an year,considered more precious,and the daksinayana, the second half of the year.

The Paksha is based on the cycle of the moon:
The first 15 days when the moon is waxing which is the bright fortnight is called the Shukla paksha. The 15 days when the moon is waning, the dark fortnight is called the Krishna paksha.
Generally the Shukla paksha is more auspicious for certain things. In the Chandi, the Goddess specifies that the 8th, 9th, and 14th days are the most auspicious for listening to or reciting her glories. This could be either paksha. The 4th day is auspicious for Ganesha. The 11th day is auspicious for Vishnu, called ekadashi. The 14th is auspicious for Shiva and the night of no moon called Amavasya is auspicious for Kali. And of course there is the full moon or Purnima.
The Ayana is based on the cycle of Sun:
Uttarayana is the period covering the north-ward journey of the sun i.e. north ward passage and it consists of winter, spring, and summer. It is the period from winter solistice to summer solstice. The period starts from Sun's entry in to Capricornus ( Sayana Makara) on December 21.
Six months of Uttarayana of ours is the day time for Devas.
So Uttarayana is more auspicious than Dakshanayana,
Dakshanayana :- It is the period from Summer solstice to winter solstice i.e. south ward passage of the sun and it consists of Rains, Autumn , and Hemanta . the period starts from Sun's entry in to cancer ( Sayana Karkata) on June 21. At summer solstice day , the day is longest and at winter solostice , the day is shortest for observers in the northern hemisphere.
Six months of Uttarayana of ours is the Night time for Devas.
( Our one year is one day for Devas)
The Hindu calendar is a combined lunar and solar calendar. It is based on the position of both sun and moon. When referring to the lunar cycle we refer to tithi and paksha, but when referring to the solar cycle we talk in terms of sankranti and gate. Festivals and other religious occasions are based both on the solar and the lunar cycles.
