Today is Chaturdashi (Krishna Paksha) in the month of કારતક — Budhavara, governed by Swati. Chaturdashi is a neutral Tithi — suitable for routine activities. Rahu Kaal: 12:31 PM to 1:54 PM — avoid starting new activities during this period. Abhijit Muhurta (12:09 PM–12:53 PM) is the most auspicious window of the day. Today is શિવ ચૌદસ — an important fasting day in the Gujarati tradition.
