Today is Dwadashi (Shukla Paksha) in the month of કારતક — Shukravara, governed by Purva Bhadrapada. Dwadashi is an auspicious Tithi — favorable for new beginnings, ceremonies, and important decisions. Rahu Kaal: 10:59 AM to 12:25 PM — 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 બારસ — an important fasting day in the Gujarati tradition.
