Amavasya is generally avoided for major new ventures — devotional activities are fine, but for big decisions, another day may suit better.

The most auspicious moment of the day is Abhijit Muhurta, from 12:15 PM to 1:04 PM — a good slot for anything important. Vrat: દિવાળી is observed on Sunday, 21 September 2025, an important fasting day in the Gujarati tradition.
