Today is Amavasya (Krishna Paksha) in the month of આસો — Somavara, governed by Purva Phalguni. Amavasya is generally considered inauspicious for major new ventures. Rahu Kaal: 7:57 AM to 9:29 AM — avoid starting new activities during this period. Abhijit Muhurta (12:08 PM–12:56 PM) is the most auspicious window of the day. Today is દિવાળી — an important fasting day in the Gujarati tradition.
