Today is Dwadashi (Krishna Paksha) in the month of Vaishakh — Somavara, governed by Uttara Bhadrapada. Dwadashi is an auspicious Tithi — favorable for new beginnings, ceremonies, and important decisions. Rahu Kaal: 7:53 AM to 9:31 AM — avoid starting new activities during this period. Abhijit Muhurta (12:19 PM–1:11 PM) is the most auspicious window of the day. Today is બારસ — an important fasting day in the Gujarati tradition.
