Today is Dwadashi (Krishna Paksha) in the month of Shravan — Mangalavara, governed by Mrigashirsha. Dwadashi is an auspicious Tithi — favorable for new beginnings, ceremonies, and important decisions. Rahu Kaal: 4:12 PM to 5:52 PM — avoid starting new activities during this period. Abhijit Muhurta (12:27 PM–1:20 PM) is the most auspicious window of the day. Today is બારસ — an important fasting day in the Gujarati tradition.
