Today is Amavasya (Krishna Paksha) in the month of અષાઢ — Ravivara, governed by Ardra. Amavasya is generally considered inauspicious for major new ventures. Rahu Kaal: 6:01 PM to 7:42 PM — avoid starting new activities during this period. Abhijit Muhurta (12:32 PM–1:25 PM) is the most auspicious window of the day. Today is અમાસ — an important fasting day in the Gujarati tradition.
