Today is Panchami (Krishna Paksha) in the month of Chaitra — Shanivara, governed by Anuradha. Panchami is an auspicious Tithi — favorable for new beginnings, ceremonies, and important decisions. Rahu Kaal: 9:35 AM to 11:07 AM — avoid starting new activities during this period. Abhijit Muhurta (12:14 PM–1:03 PM) is the most auspicious window of the day.
