Today is Pratipada (Krishna Paksha) in the month of Shravan — Ravivara, governed by Dhanishtha. Pratipada is an auspicious Tithi — favorable for new beginnings, ceremonies, and important decisions. Rahu Kaal: 5:38 PM to 7:16 PM — avoid starting new activities during this period. Abhijit Muhurta (12:19 PM–1:11 PM) is the most auspicious window of the day.
