Today is Chaturdashi (Krishna Paksha) in the month of કારતક — Ravivara, governed by Swati. Chaturdashi is a neutral Tithi — suitable for routine activities. Rahu Kaal: 4:34 PM to 5:57 PM — avoid starting new activities during this period. Abhijit Muhurta (12:01 PM–12:45 PM) is the most auspicious window of the day. Today is શિવ ચૌદસ — an important fasting day in the Gujarati tradition.
