Today is Navami (Krishna Paksha) in the month of Kartik — Ravivara, governed by Ashlesha. Navami is an auspicious Tithi — favorable for new beginnings, ceremonies, and important decisions. Rahu Kaal: 4:35 PM to 6:01 PM — avoid starting new activities during this period. Abhijit Muhurta (11:54 AM–12:40 PM) is the most auspicious window of the day.
