Today is Amavasya (Krishna Paksha) in the month of Maha — Budhavara, governed by Uttara Ashadha. Amavasya is generally considered inauspicious for major new ventures. Rahu Kaal: 12:51 PM to 2:15 PM — avoid starting new activities during this period. Abhijit Muhurta (12:29 PM–1:13 PM) is the most auspicious window of the day. Today is અમાસ — an important fasting day in the Gujarati tradition.
