Today is Dwadashi (Shukla Paksha) in the month of Vaishakh — Shanivara, governed by Hasta. Dwadashi is an auspicious Tithi — favorable for new beginnings, ceremonies, and important decisions. Rahu Kaal: 9:27 AM to 11:05 AM — avoid starting new activities during this period. Abhijit Muhurta (12:17 PM–1:10 PM) is the most auspicious window of the day. Today is બારસ — an important fasting day in the Gujarati tradition.
