Today is Dwadashi (Shukla Paksha) in the month of Jyeshtha — Budhavara, governed by Chitra. Dwadashi is an auspicious Tithi — favorable for new beginnings, ceremonies, and important decisions. Rahu Kaal: 12:40 PM to 2:20 PM — avoid starting new activities during this period. Abhijit Muhurta (12:13 PM–1:07 PM) is the most auspicious window of the day. Today is બારસ — an important fasting day in the Gujarati tradition.
