Today's Panchang Summary
General information only — not personal advice.

It's Ekadashi of Shukla Paksha, in the month of Kartik. Today falls on a Guruvara, traditionally ruled by Jupiter, with the Moon resting in Shatabhisha nakshatra. Ekadashi is considered an auspicious tithi, so it's a good day for new beginnings, ceremonies, or important decisions. Between 1:49 PM and 3:15 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 12:00 PM to 12:46 PM — a good slot for anything important. Vrat: અગિયારસ is observed today, an important fasting day in the Gujarati tradition.
