Today is Panchami (Krishna Paksha) in the month of Ashwin — Guruvara, governed by Rohini. Panchami is an auspicious Tithi — favorable for new beginnings, ceremonies, and important decisions. Rahu Kaal: 1:59 PM to 3:28 PM — avoid starting new activities during this period. Abhijit Muhurta (12:05 PM–12:53 PM) is the most auspicious window of the day.
