Shukla Paksha
Today's Panchang Summary General information only — not personal advice.
It's Pratipada of Shukla Paksha, in the month of Bhadrapad. Today falls on a Budhavara, traditionally ruled by Mercury, with the Moon resting in Purva Phalguni nakshatra. Pratipada is considered an auspicious tithi, so it's a good day for new beginnings, ceremonies, or important decisions. Between 12:38 PM and 2:12 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 12:13 PM to 1:03 PM — a good slot for anything important.
Pratipada is the 1th day of Shukla Paksha in the month of Bhadrapad. First day of lunar fortnight — good for starting new activities In the Gujarati Amanta tradition, months end on Amavasya (new moon).
Siddha is one of 27 Yogas in Vedic astrology, calculated from the combined longitudes of Sun and Moon. Accomplished — excellent for new ventures The Moon is in Purva Phalguni Nakshatra (Pada 2) — Joyful, creative energy — excellent for celebration, romance, arts, and leisure.
