Today is Chaturthi (Krishna Paksha) in the month of Chaitra — Mangalavara, governed by Swati. Chaturthi is a neutral Tithi — suitable for routine activities. Rahu Kaal: 3:49 PM to 5:20 PM — avoid starting new activities during this period. Abhijit Muhurta (12:24 PM–1:13 PM) is the most auspicious window of the day. Today is સંકષ્ટ ચોથ — an important fasting day in the Gujarati tradition.
