Today is Dwadashi (Krishna Paksha) in the month of Ashadh — Ravivara, governed by Bharani. Dwadashi is an auspicious Tithi — favorable for new beginnings, ceremonies, and important decisions. Rahu Kaal: 5:52 PM to 7:33 PM — avoid starting new activities during this period. Abhijit Muhurta (12:24 PM–1:17 PM) is the most auspicious window of the day. Today is બારસ — an important fasting day in the Gujarati tradition.
