Today is Pratipada (Krishna Paksha) in the month of Margashirsh — Shukravara, governed by Rohini. Pratipada is an auspicious Tithi — favorable for new beginnings, ceremonies, and important decisions. Rahu Kaal: 11:17 AM to 12:39 PM — avoid starting new activities during this period. Abhijit Muhurta (12:17 PM–1:01 PM) is the most auspicious window of the day.
