Today is Dwadashi (Krishna Paksha) in the month of Maha — Guruvara, governed by Jyeshtha. Dwadashi is an auspicious Tithi — favorable for new beginnings, ceremonies, and important decisions. Rahu Kaal: 2:21 PM to 3:43 PM — avoid starting new activities during this period. Abhijit Muhurta (12:37 PM–1:21 PM) is the most auspicious window of the day. Today is બારસ — an important fasting day in the Gujarati tradition.
