Today is Dashami (Krishna Paksha) in the month of Vaishakh — Mangalavara, governed by Purva Bhadrapada. Dashami is an auspicious Tithi — favorable for new beginnings, ceremonies, and important decisions. Rahu Kaal: 3:50 PM to 5:29 PM — avoid starting new activities during this period. Abhijit Muhurta (12:08 PM–1:00 PM) is the most auspicious window of the day.
