Today is Dwadashi (Krishna Paksha) in the month of Bhadrapad — Mangalavara, governed by Pushya. Dwadashi is an auspicious Tithi — favorable for new beginnings, ceremonies, and important decisions. Rahu Kaal: 3:54 PM to 5:27 PM — avoid starting new activities during this period. Abhijit Muhurta (12:23 PM–1:12 PM) is the most auspicious window of the day. Today is બારસ — an important fasting day in the Gujarati tradition.
