Today is Dwadashi (Krishna Paksha) in the month of Chaitra — Shanivara, governed by Dhanishtha. Dwadashi is an auspicious Tithi — favorable for new beginnings, ceremonies, and important decisions. Rahu Kaal: 9:37 AM to 11:10 AM — avoid starting new activities during this period. Abhijit Muhurta (12:18 PM–1:08 PM) is the most auspicious window of the day. Today is બારસ — an important fasting day in the Gujarati tradition.
