Today is Dwadashi (Krishna Paksha) in the month of Margashirsh — Shanivara, governed by Chitra. Dwadashi is an auspicious Tithi — favorable for new beginnings, ceremonies, and important decisions. Rahu Kaal: 9:57 AM to 11:17 AM — avoid starting new activities during this period. Abhijit Muhurta (12:16 PM–12:59 PM) is the most auspicious window of the day. Today is બારસ — an important fasting day in the Gujarati tradition.
