Today is Ekadashi (Shukla Paksha) in the month of Kartik — Budhavara, governed by Uttara Bhadrapada. Ekadashi is an auspicious Tithi — favorable for new beginnings, ceremonies, and important decisions. Rahu Kaal: 12:17 PM to 1:40 PM — avoid starting new activities during this period. Abhijit Muhurta (11:54 AM–12:39 PM) is the most auspicious window of the day. Today is અગિયારસ — an important fasting day in the Gujarati tradition.
