Today is Tritiya (Shukla Paksha) in the month of Kartik — Guruvara, governed by Jyeshtha. Tritiya is an auspicious Tithi — favorable for new beginnings, ceremonies, and important decisions. Rahu Kaal: 2:01 PM to 3:24 PM — avoid starting new activities during this period. Abhijit Muhurta (12:15 PM–1:00 PM) is the most auspicious window of the day.
