Today is Dwadashi (Shukla Paksha) in the month of Chaitra — Somavara, governed by Magha. Dwadashi is an auspicious Tithi — favorable for new beginnings, ceremonies, and important decisions. Rahu Kaal: 8:00 AM to 9:33 AM — avoid starting new activities during this period. Abhijit Muhurta (12:13 PM–1:02 PM) is the most auspicious window of the day. Today is બારસ — an important fasting day in the Gujarati tradition.
