Today is Amavasya (Krishna Paksha) in the month of Chaitra — Guruvara, governed by Uttara Bhadrapada. Amavasya is generally considered inauspicious for major new ventures. Rahu Kaal: 2:27 PM to 3:58 PM — avoid starting new activities during this period. Abhijit Muhurta (12:32 PM–1:21 PM) is the most auspicious window of the day. Today is અમાસ — an important fasting day in the Gujarati tradition.
