Today is Dwitiya (Shukla Paksha) in the month of Ashadh — Guruvara, governed by Ashlesha. Dwitiya is an auspicious Tithi — favorable for new beginnings, ceremonies, and important decisions. Rahu Kaal: 2:31 PM to 4:11 PM — avoid starting new activities during this period. Abhijit Muhurta (12:24 PM–1:18 PM) is the most auspicious window of the day.
