Today is Panchami (Shukla Paksha) in the month of Vaishakh — Somavara, governed by Ardra. Panchami is an auspicious Tithi — favorable for new beginnings, ceremonies, and important decisions. Rahu Kaal: 7:40 AM to 9:18 AM — avoid starting new activities during this period. Abhijit Muhurta (12:10 PM–1:02 PM) is the most auspicious window of the day.
