Today is Dwadashi (Krishna Paksha) in the month of Ashwin — Somavara, governed by Ashlesha. Dwadashi is an auspicious Tithi — favorable for new beginnings, ceremonies, and important decisions. Rahu Kaal: 8:08 AM to 9:39 AM — avoid starting new activities during this period. Abhijit Muhurta (12:15 PM–1:03 PM) is the most auspicious window of the day. Today is બારસ — an important fasting day in the Gujarati tradition.
