It's Pratipada of Shukla Paksha, in the month of Maha. Today falls on a Guruvara, traditionally ruled by Jupiter, with the Moon resting in Shravana nakshatra. Pratipada is considered an auspicious tithi, so it's a good day for new beginnings, ceremonies, or important decisions. Between 2:11 PM and 3:34 PM, Rahu Kaal will be in effect; elders advise against starting anything new during this window. The most auspicious moment of the day is Abhijit Muhurta, from 12:26 PM to 1:10 PM — a good slot for anything important.
