Today is Amavasya (Krishna Paksha) in the month of કારતક — Shukravara, governed by Chitra. Amavasya is generally considered inauspicious for major new ventures. Rahu Kaal: 10:58 AM to 12:23 PM — avoid starting new activities during this period. Abhijit Muhurta (12:00 PM–12:46 PM) is the most auspicious window of the day. Today is અમાસ — an important fasting day in the Gujarati tradition.
