Today is Amavasya (Krishna Paksha) in the month of વૈશાખ — Somavara, governed by Ashwini. Amavasya is generally considered inauspicious for major new ventures. Rahu Kaal: 7:48 AM to 9:25 AM — avoid starting new activities during this period. Abhijit Muhurta (12:12 PM–1:04 PM) is the most auspicious window of the day. Today is અમાસ — an important fasting day in the Gujarati tradition.
