Today is Chaturdashi (Krishna Paksha) in the month of Kartik — Guruvara, governed by Hasta. Chaturdashi is a neutral Tithi — suitable for routine activities. Rahu Kaal: 1:57 PM to 3:23 PM — avoid starting new activities during this period. Abhijit Muhurta (12:09 PM–12:55 PM) is the most auspicious window of the day. Today is શિવ ચૌદસ — an important fasting day in the Gujarati tradition.
