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.
