Today is Dwadashi (Krishna Paksha) in the month of અષાઢ — Guruvara, governed by Krittika. Dwadashi is an auspicious Tithi — favorable for new beginnings, ceremonies, and important decisions. Rahu Kaal: 2:39 PM to 4:20 PM — avoid starting new activities during this period. Abhijit Muhurta (12:31 PM–1:25 PM) is the most auspicious window of the day. Today is બારસ — an important fasting day in the Gujarati tradition.
