Today is Pratipada (Krishna Paksha) in the month of Jyeshtha — Guruvara, governed by Mula. Pratipada is an auspicious Tithi — favorable for new beginnings, ceremonies, and important decisions. Rahu Kaal: 2:16 PM to 3:57 PM — avoid starting new activities during this period. Abhijit Muhurta (12:08 PM–1:02 PM) is the most auspicious window of the day.
