Today is Dwadashi (Krishna Paksha) in the month of Ashadh — Somavara, governed by Bharani. Dwadashi is an auspicious Tithi — favorable for new beginnings, ceremonies, and important decisions. Rahu Kaal: 7:37 AM to 9:18 AM — avoid starting new activities during this period. Abhijit Muhurta (12:13 PM–1:06 PM) is the most auspicious window of the day. Today is બારસ — an important fasting day in the Gujarati tradition.
