Today is Dashami (Shukla Paksha) in the month of Ashadh — Budhavara, governed by Chitra. Dashami is an auspicious Tithi — favorable for new beginnings, ceremonies, and important decisions. Rahu Kaal: 12:40 PM to 2:22 PM — avoid starting new activities during this period. Abhijit Muhurta (12:13 PM–1:08 PM) is the most auspicious window of the day.
