Today is Dwadashi (Shukla Paksha) in the month of Ashwin — Budhavara, governed by Shravana. Dwadashi is an auspicious Tithi — favorable for new beginnings, ceremonies, and important decisions. Rahu Kaal: 12:34 PM to 2:04 PM — avoid starting new activities during this period. Abhijit Muhurta (12:09 PM–12:58 PM) is the most auspicious window of the day. Today is બારસ — an important fasting day in the Gujarati tradition.
