Today is Chaturthi (Shukla Paksha) in the month of Chaitra — Mangalavara, governed by Bharani. Chaturthi is a neutral Tithi — suitable for routine activities. Rahu Kaal: 3:59 PM to 5:32 PM — avoid starting new activities during this period. Abhijit Muhurta (12:29 PM–1:18 PM) is the most auspicious window of the day. Today is ચોથ — an important fasting day in the Gujarati tradition.
