Today is Panchami (Krishna Paksha) in the month of Vaishakh — Ravivara, governed by Jyeshtha. Panchami is an auspicious Tithi — favorable for new beginnings, ceremonies, and important decisions. Rahu Kaal: 5:21 PM to 6:57 PM — avoid starting new activities during this period. Abhijit Muhurta (12:05 PM–12:57 PM) is the most auspicious window of the day.
