Today is Dwadashi (Shukla Paksha) in the month of કારતક — Somavara, governed by Uttara Bhadrapada. Dwadashi is an auspicious Tithi — favorable for new beginnings, ceremonies, and important decisions. Rahu Kaal: 8:04 AM to 9:29 AM — avoid starting new activities during this period. Abhijit Muhurta (11:56 AM–12:42 PM) is the most auspicious window of the day. Today is બારસ — an important fasting day in the Gujarati tradition.
