Today is Dwadashi (Krishna Paksha) in the month of Ashadh — Ravivara, governed by Bharani. Dwadashi is an auspicious Tithi — favorable for new beginnings, ceremonies, and important decisions. Rahu Kaal: 5:53 PM to 7:35 PM — avoid starting new activities during this period. Abhijit Muhurta (12:22 PM–1:16 PM) is the most auspicious window of the day. Today is બારસ — an important fasting day in the Gujarati tradition.
