Shukla means bright which is a period of the bright or waxing moon, whereas Krishna stands for dark which is the time when moon fades. A Shukla Paksha is from the new moon Amavasya to the full moon Poornima. Whereas, Krishna Paksha, opposite of the Shukla Paksha, starts from the full moon to the new moon.

As the day progresses after the full moon, the moon decreases. That is, the light of the moon starts getting weaker. With the decrease in the size and light of the moon, the nights start getting dark. For this reason, also Krishna Paksha is not considered as auspicious. The 15 days after Amavasya are called Shukla Paksha. From the very next day of the new moon, the moon starts rising and the dark night starts shining in the light of the moon.
