Today is Dwadashi (Shukla Paksha) in the month of Chaitra — Shukravara, governed by Ashlesha. Dwadashi is an auspicious Tithi — favorable for new beginnings, ceremonies, and important decisions. Rahu Kaal: 11:15 AM to 12:45 PM — avoid starting new activities during this period. Abhijit Muhurta (12:21 PM–1:10 PM) is the most auspicious window of the day. Today is બારસ — an important fasting day in the Gujarati tradition.
