Today is Amavasya (Krishna Paksha) in the month of ચૈત્ર — Ravivara, governed by Uttara Bhadrapada. Amavasya is generally considered inauspicious for major new ventures. Rahu Kaal: 5:17 PM to 6:49 PM — avoid starting new activities during this period. Abhijit Muhurta (12:17 PM–1:06 PM) is the most auspicious window of the day. Today is અમાસ — an important fasting day in the Gujarati tradition.
