Today is Dwitiya (Shukla Paksha) in the month of Chaitra — Somavara, governed by Ashwini. Dwitiya is an auspicious Tithi — favorable for new beginnings, ceremonies, and important decisions. Rahu Kaal: 8:08 AM to 9:40 AM — avoid starting new activities during this period. Abhijit Muhurta (12:21 PM–1:10 PM) is the most auspicious window of the day.
