Today is Amavasya (Krishna Paksha) in the month of આસો — Ravivara, governed by Purva Phalguni. Amavasya is generally considered inauspicious for major new ventures. Rahu Kaal: 5:10 PM to 6:41 PM — avoid starting new activities during this period. Abhijit Muhurta (12:12 PM–1:01 PM) is the most auspicious window of the day. Today is દિવાળી — an important fasting day in the Gujarati tradition.
