Today is Dwadashi (Krishna Paksha) in the month of Bhadrapad — Guruvara, governed by Ardra. Dwadashi is an auspicious Tithi — favorable for new beginnings, ceremonies, and important decisions. Rahu Kaal: 2:21 PM to 3:57 PM — avoid starting new activities during this period. Abhijit Muhurta (12:18 PM–1:10 PM) is the most auspicious window of the day. Today is બારસ — an important fasting day in the Gujarati tradition.
