Today is Trayodashi (Krishna Paksha) in the month of Kartik — Shanivara, governed by Chitra. Trayodashi is an auspicious Tithi — favorable for new beginnings, ceremonies, and important decisions. Rahu Kaal: 9:45 AM to 11:09 AM — avoid starting new activities during this period. Abhijit Muhurta (12:11 PM–12:56 PM) is the most auspicious window of the day. Today is પ્રદોષ — an important fasting day in the Gujarati tradition.
