Today is Dwadashi (Krishna Paksha) in the month of Ashadh — Ravivara, governed by Bharani. Dwadashi is an auspicious Tithi — favorable for new beginnings, ceremonies, and important decisions. Rahu Kaal: 5:47 PM to 7:28 PM — avoid starting new activities during this period. Abhijit Muhurta (12:15 PM–1:09 PM) is the most auspicious window of the day. Today is બારસ — an important fasting day in the Gujarati tradition.
