Today is Panchami (Krishna Paksha) in the month of વૈશાખ — Guruvara, governed by Purva Ashadha. Panchami is an auspicious Tithi — favorable for new beginnings, ceremonies, and important decisions. Rahu Kaal: 2:16 PM to 3:55 PM — avoid starting new activities during this period. Abhijit Muhurta (12:11 PM–1:03 PM) is the most auspicious window of the day.
