Today is Dwadashi (Shukla Paksha) in the month of Chaitra — Guruvara, governed by Magha. Dwadashi is an auspicious Tithi — favorable for new beginnings, ceremonies, and important decisions. Rahu Kaal: 2:12 PM to 3:45 PM — avoid starting new activities during this period. Abhijit Muhurta (12:13 PM–1:03 PM) is the most auspicious window of the day. Today is બારસ — an important fasting day in the Gujarati tradition.
