Today is Amavasya (Krishna Paksha) in the month of Margashirsh — Mangalavara, governed by Anuradha. Amavasya is generally considered inauspicious for major new ventures. Rahu Kaal: 3:13 PM to 4:33 PM — avoid starting new activities during this period. Abhijit Muhurta (12:12 PM–12:54 PM) is the most auspicious window of the day. Today is અમાસ — an important fasting day in the Gujarati tradition.
