Today is Pratipada (Krishna Paksha) in the month of Jyeshtha — Guruvara, governed by Mula. Pratipada is an auspicious Tithi — favorable for new beginnings, ceremonies, and important decisions. Rahu Kaal: 2:18 PM to 4:00 PM — avoid starting new activities during this period. Abhijit Muhurta (12:10 PM–1:04 PM) is the most auspicious window of the day.
