Today is Trayodashi (Krishna Paksha) in the month of Kartik — Mangalavara, governed by Chitra. Trayodashi is an auspicious Tithi — favorable for new beginnings, ceremonies, and important decisions. Rahu Kaal: 3:09 PM to 4:32 PM — avoid starting new activities during this period. Abhijit Muhurta (12:02 PM–12:46 PM) is the most auspicious window of the day. Today is પ્રદોષ — an important fasting day in the Gujarati tradition.
