Today is Amavasya (Krishna Paksha) in the month of વૈશાખ — Ravivara, governed by Ashwini. Amavasya is generally considered inauspicious for major new ventures. Rahu Kaal: 5:28 PM to 7:05 PM — avoid starting new activities during this period. Abhijit Muhurta (12:11 PM–1:03 PM) is the most auspicious window of the day. Today is અમાસ — an important fasting day in the Gujarati tradition.
