On Wednesday, 28 October 2026, it is Tritiya of Krishna Paksha, in the month of Ashwin. The day falls on a Budhavara, traditionally ruled by Mercury, with the Moon resting in Krittika nakshatra. Tritiya is considered an auspicious tithi, so it is a favorable day for new beginnings, ceremonies, or important decisions.
Between 12:23 PM and 1:49 PM, Rahu Kaal is in effect; elders advise against starting anything new during this window. The most auspicious moment of the day is Abhijit Muhurta, from 12:00 PM to 12:46 PM, a good slot for anything important.
Third day: good for wearing new clothes and ornaments
Calamity: avoid auspicious events
