Today is Dwadashi (Krishna Paksha) in the month of Bhadrapad — Budhavara, governed by Punarvasu. Dwadashi is an auspicious Tithi — favorable for new beginnings, ceremonies, and important decisions. Rahu Kaal: 12:52 PM to 2:27 PM — avoid starting new activities during this period. Abhijit Muhurta (12:26 PM–1:17 PM) is the most auspicious window of the day. Today is બારસ — an important fasting day in the Gujarati tradition.
