Today is Amavasya (Krishna Paksha) in the month of Margashirsh — Mangalavara, governed by Anuradha. Amavasya is generally considered inauspicious for major new ventures. Rahu Kaal: 3:26 PM to 4:47 PM — avoid starting new activities during this period. Abhijit Muhurta (12:23 PM–1:06 PM) is the most auspicious window of the day. Today is અમાસ — an important fasting day in the Gujarati tradition.
