Today is Dwadashi (Krishna Paksha) in the month of Maha — Ravivara, governed by Jyeshtha. Dwadashi is an auspicious Tithi — favorable for new beginnings, ceremonies, and important decisions. Rahu Kaal: 5:08 PM to 6:31 PM — avoid starting new activities during this period. Abhijit Muhurta (12:38 PM–1:22 PM) is the most auspicious window of the day. Today is બારસ — an important fasting day in the Gujarati tradition.
