Today is Amavasya (Krishna Paksha) in the month of Vaishakh — Guruvara, governed by Bharani. Amavasya is generally considered inauspicious for major new ventures. Rahu Kaal: 2:13 PM to 3:51 PM — avoid starting new activities during this period. Abhijit Muhurta (12:08 PM–1:01 PM) is the most auspicious window of the day. Today is અમાસ — an important fasting day in the Gujarati tradition.
