Today is Dwadashi (Shukla Paksha) in the month of Vaishakh — Shanivara, governed by Hasta. Dwadashi is an auspicious Tithi — favorable for new beginnings, ceremonies, and important decisions. Rahu Kaal: 9:16 AM to 10:54 AM — avoid starting new activities during this period. Abhijit Muhurta (12:06 PM–12:58 PM) is the most auspicious window of the day. Today is બારસ — an important fasting day in the Gujarati tradition.
