Today is Dwadashi (Krishna Paksha) in the month of Maha — Guruvara, governed by Jyeshtha. Dwadashi is an auspicious Tithi — favorable for new beginnings, ceremonies, and important decisions. Rahu Kaal: 2:08 PM to 3:29 PM — avoid starting new activities during this period. Abhijit Muhurta (12:25 PM–1:08 PM) is the most auspicious window of the day. Today is બારસ — an important fasting day in the Gujarati tradition.
