Today is Chaturdashi (Krishna Paksha) in the month of કારતક — Somavara, governed by Hasta. Chaturdashi is a neutral Tithi — suitable for routine activities. Rahu Kaal: 8:13 AM to 9:39 AM — avoid starting new activities during this period. Abhijit Muhurta (12:10 PM–12:56 PM) is the most auspicious window of the day. Today is શિવ ચૌદસ — an important fasting day in the Gujarati tradition.
