Today is Dashami (Krishna Paksha) in the month of Kartik — Shukravara, governed by Purva Phalguni. Dashami is an auspicious Tithi — favorable for new beginnings, ceremonies, and important decisions. Rahu Kaal: 11:08 AM to 12:31 PM — avoid starting new activities during this period. Abhijit Muhurta (12:09 PM–12:53 PM) is the most auspicious window of the day.
