Today is Dashami (Krishna Paksha) in the month of Kartik — Budhavara, governed by Purva Phalguni. Dashami is an auspicious Tithi — favorable for new beginnings, ceremonies, and important decisions. Rahu Kaal: 12:21 PM to 1:45 PM — avoid starting new activities during this period. Abhijit Muhurta (11:58 AM–12:43 PM) is the most auspicious window of the day.
