Today is Dwadashi (Shukla Paksha) in the month of Ashwin — Shanivara, governed by Dhanishtha. Dwadashi is an auspicious Tithi — favorable for new beginnings, ceremonies, and important decisions. Rahu Kaal: 9:27 AM to 10:56 AM — avoid starting new activities during this period. Abhijit Muhurta (12:02 PM–12:49 PM) is the most auspicious window of the day. Today is બારસ — an important fasting day in the Gujarati tradition.
