Today is Dashami (Shukla Paksha) in the month of Kartik — Shanivara, governed by Shatabhisha. Dashami is an auspicious Tithi — favorable for new beginnings, ceremonies, and important decisions. Rahu Kaal: 9:35 AM to 10:59 AM — avoid starting new activities during this period. Abhijit Muhurta (12:01 PM–12:46 PM) is the most auspicious window of the day.
