Today is Dashami (Krishna Paksha) in the month of Kartik — Budhavara, governed by Purva Phalguni. Dashami is an auspicious Tithi — favorable for new beginnings, ceremonies, and important decisions. Rahu Kaal: 12:23 PM to 1:47 PM — avoid starting new activities during this period. Abhijit Muhurta (12:00 PM–12:45 PM) is the most auspicious window of the day.
