Today is Tritiya (Krishna Paksha) in the month of Kartik — Somavara, governed by Krittika. Tritiya is an auspicious Tithi — favorable for new beginnings, ceremonies, and important decisions. Rahu Kaal: 8:00 AM to 9:27 AM — avoid starting new activities during this period. Abhijit Muhurta (11:57 AM–12:44 PM) is the most auspicious window of the day.
