Today is Amavasya (Krishna Paksha) in the month of Maha — Ravivara, governed by Purva Ashadha. Amavasya is generally considered inauspicious for major new ventures. Rahu Kaal: 5:03 PM to 6:25 PM — avoid starting new activities during this period. Abhijit Muhurta (12:34 PM–1:18 PM) is the most auspicious window of the day. Today is અમાસ — an important fasting day in the Gujarati tradition.
