Today is Chaturdashi (Krishna Paksha) in the month of Kartik — Somavara, governed by Hasta. Chaturdashi is a neutral Tithi — suitable for routine activities. Rahu Kaal: 8:06 AM to 9:33 AM — avoid starting new activities during this period. Abhijit Muhurta (12:02 PM–12:48 PM) is the most auspicious window of the day. Today is શિવ ચૌદસ — an important fasting day in the Gujarati tradition.
