Today is Pratipada (Krishna Paksha) in the month of Ashwin — Budhavara, governed by Revati. Pratipada is an auspicious Tithi — favorable for new beginnings, ceremonies, and important decisions. Rahu Kaal: 12:28 PM to 1:57 PM — avoid starting new activities during this period. Abhijit Muhurta (12:04 PM–12:52 PM) is the most auspicious window of the day.
