Today is Dashami (Shukla Paksha) in the month of Ashwin — Somavara, governed by Uttara Ashadha. Dashami is an auspicious Tithi — favorable for new beginnings, ceremonies, and important decisions. Rahu Kaal: 8:09 AM to 9:40 AM — avoid starting new activities during this period. Abhijit Muhurta (12:18 PM–1:07 PM) is the most auspicious window of the day.
