Today is Amavasya (Krishna Paksha) in the month of Chaitra — Guruvara, governed by Uttara Bhadrapada. Amavasya is generally considered inauspicious for major new ventures. Rahu Kaal: 2:26 PM to 3:57 PM — avoid starting new activities during this period. Abhijit Muhurta (12:31 PM–1:20 PM) is the most auspicious window of the day. Today is અમાસ — an important fasting day in the Gujarati tradition.
