Today is Chaturthi (Shukla Paksha) in the month of Bhadrapad — Budhavara, governed by Chitra. Chaturthi is a neutral Tithi — suitable for routine activities. Rahu Kaal: 12:42 PM to 2:17 PM — avoid starting new activities during this period. Abhijit Muhurta (12:16 PM–1:07 PM) is the most auspicious window of the day. Today is ચોથ — an important fasting day in the Gujarati tradition.
