Today is Dwitiya (Krishna Paksha) in the month of Chaitra — Mangalavara, governed by Swati. Dwitiya is an auspicious Tithi — favorable for new beginnings, ceremonies, and important decisions. Rahu Kaal: 3:57 PM to 5:31 PM — avoid starting new activities during this period. Abhijit Muhurta (12:23 PM–1:13 PM) is the most auspicious window of the day.
