Today is Panchami (Krishna Paksha) in the month of Margashirsh — Guruvara, governed by Punarvasu. Panchami is an auspicious Tithi — favorable for new beginnings, ceremonies, and important decisions. Rahu Kaal: 2:02 PM to 3:25 PM — avoid starting new activities during this period. Abhijit Muhurta (12:17 PM–1:01 PM) is the most auspicious window of the day.
