Today is Panchami (Shukla Paksha) in the month of Ashadh — Guruvara, governed by Purva Phalguni. Panchami is an auspicious Tithi — favorable for new beginnings, ceremonies, and important decisions. Rahu Kaal: 2:35 PM to 4:15 PM — avoid starting new activities during this period. Abhijit Muhurta (12:28 PM–1:21 PM) is the most auspicious window of the day.
