Today is Dwadashi (Krishna Paksha) in the month of Chaitra — Budhavara, governed by Dhanishtha. Dwadashi is an auspicious Tithi — favorable for new beginnings, ceremonies, and important decisions. Rahu Kaal: 12:54 PM to 2:26 PM — avoid starting new activities during this period. Abhijit Muhurta (12:29 PM–1:18 PM) is the most auspicious window of the day. Today is બારસ — an important fasting day in the Gujarati tradition.
