Today's Panchang Summary General information only — not personal advice.
It's Panchami of Shukla Paksha, in the month of Kartik. Today falls on a Ravivara, traditionally ruled by Sun, with the Moon resting in Jyeshtha nakshatra. Panchami is considered an auspicious tithi, so it's a good day for new beginnings, ceremonies, or important decisions. Between 4:39 PM and 6:05 PM, Rahu Kaal will be in effect; elders advise against starting anything new during this window. The most auspicious moment of the day is Abhijit Muhurta, from 11:59 AM to 12:45 PM — a good slot for anything important.
Panchami is the 5th day of Shukla Paksha in the month of Kartik. Fifth day — favorable for medicines, arts and education In the Gujarati Amanta tradition, months end on Amavasya (new moon).
