Today is Panchami (Krishna Paksha) in the month of Ashwin — Guruvara, governed by Rohini. Panchami is an auspicious Tithi — favorable for new beginnings, ceremonies, and important decisions. Rahu Kaal: 2:09 PM to 3:38 PM — avoid starting new activities during this period. Abhijit Muhurta (12:16 PM–1:03 PM) is the most auspicious window of the day.
