Today is Pratipada (Krishna Paksha) in the month of Posh — Mangalavara, governed by Punarvasu. Pratipada is an auspicious Tithi — favorable for new beginnings, ceremonies, and important decisions. Rahu Kaal: 3:38 PM to 5:00 PM — avoid starting new activities during this period. Abhijit Muhurta (12:32 PM–1:16 PM) is the most auspicious window of the day.
