Today is Dwadashi (Shukla Paksha) in the month of Bhadrapad — Somavara, governed by Purva Ashadha. Dwadashi is an auspicious Tithi — favorable for new beginnings, ceremonies, and important decisions. Rahu Kaal: 7:55 AM to 9:31 AM — avoid starting new activities during this period. Abhijit Muhurta (12:17 PM–1:08 PM) is the most auspicious window of the day. Today is બારસ — an important fasting day in the Gujarati tradition.
