Today is Dwadashi (Shukla Paksha) in the month of પોષ — Budhavara, governed by Krittika. Dwadashi is an auspicious Tithi — favorable for new beginnings, ceremonies, and important decisions. Rahu Kaal: 12:39 PM to 1:59 PM — avoid starting new activities during this period. Abhijit Muhurta (12:17 PM–1:00 PM) is the most auspicious window of the day. Today is બારસ — an important fasting day in the Gujarati tradition.
