Today is Amavasya (Krishna Paksha) in the month of પોષ — Guruvara, governed by Purva Ashadha. Amavasya is generally considered inauspicious for major new ventures. Rahu Kaal: 2:06 PM to 3:27 PM — avoid starting new activities during this period. Abhijit Muhurta (12:23 PM–1:06 PM) is the most auspicious window of the day. Today is અમાસ — an important fasting day in the Gujarati tradition.
