Today is Dashami (Shukla Paksha) in the month of Ashadh — Budhavara, governed by Chitra. Dashami is an auspicious Tithi — favorable for new beginnings, ceremonies, and important decisions. Rahu Kaal: 12:50 PM to 2:32 PM — avoid starting new activities during this period. Abhijit Muhurta (12:23 PM–1:17 PM) is the most auspicious window of the day.
