Today is Panchami (Krishna Paksha) in the month of વૈશાખ — Guruvara, governed by Purva Ashadha. Panchami is an auspicious Tithi — favorable for new beginnings, ceremonies, and important decisions. Rahu Kaal: 2:22 PM to 4:00 PM — avoid starting new activities during this period. Abhijit Muhurta (12:17 PM–1:10 PM) is the most auspicious window of the day.
