Today is Trayodashi (Shukla Paksha) in the month of Kartik — Shanivara, governed by Uttara Bhadrapada. Trayodashi is an auspicious Tithi — favorable for new beginnings, ceremonies, and important decisions. Rahu Kaal: 9:42 AM to 11:08 AM — avoid starting new activities during this period. Abhijit Muhurta (12:11 PM–12:57 PM) is the most auspicious window of the day. Today is પ્રદોષ — an important fasting day in the Gujarati tradition.
