Today is Amavasya (Krishna Paksha) in the month of વૈશાખ — Ravivara, governed by Ashwini. Amavasya is generally considered inauspicious for major new ventures. Rahu Kaal: 5:25 PM to 7:01 PM — avoid starting new activities during this period. Abhijit Muhurta (12:10 PM–1:02 PM) is the most auspicious window of the day. Today is અમાસ — an important fasting day in the Gujarati tradition.
