Shukla Paksha
Today's Panchang Summary General information only — not personal advice.
It's Pratipada of Shukla Paksha, in the month of Kartik. Today falls on a Mangalavara, traditionally ruled by Mars, with the Moon resting in Vishakha nakshatra. Pratipada is considered an auspicious tithi, so it's a good day for new beginnings, ceremonies, or important decisions. Between 3:10 PM and 4:34 PM, Rahu Kaal will be in effect; elders advise against starting anything new during this window. The most auspicious moment of the day is Abhijit Muhurta, from 12:01 PM to 12:46 PM — a good slot for anything important.
Pratipada is the 1th day of Shukla Paksha in the month of Kartik. First day of lunar fortnight — good for starting new activities In the Gujarati Amanta tradition, months end on Amavasya (new moon).
Shobhana is one of 27 Yogas in Vedic astrology, calculated from the combined longitudes of Sun and Moon. Splendor — good for festivals and celebrations The Moon is in Vishakha Nakshatra (Pada 4) — Determined, goal-oriented energy — excellent for focused work and achieving ambitions.
