Today is Dwadashi (Shukla Paksha) in the month of પોષ — Guruvara, governed by Krittika. Dwadashi is an auspicious Tithi — favorable for new beginnings, ceremonies, and important decisions. Rahu Kaal: 1:58 PM to 3:19 PM — avoid starting new activities during this period. Abhijit Muhurta (12:16 PM–12:59 PM) is the most auspicious window of the day. Today is બારસ — an important fasting day in the Gujarati tradition.
