Today is Dwadashi (Shukla Paksha) in the month of મહા — Mangalavara, governed by Ardra. Dwadashi is an auspicious Tithi — favorable for new beginnings, ceremonies, and important decisions. Rahu Kaal: 3:50 PM to 5:14 PM — avoid starting new activities during this period. Abhijit Muhurta (12:38 PM–1:23 PM) is the most auspicious window of the day. Today is બારસ — an important fasting day in the Gujarati tradition.
