Today is Panchami (Krishna Paksha) in the month of Vaishakh — Shukravara, governed by Jyeshtha. Panchami is an auspicious Tithi — favorable for new beginnings, ceremonies, and important decisions. Rahu Kaal: 11:09 AM to 12:45 PM — avoid starting new activities during this period. Abhijit Muhurta (12:19 PM–1:10 PM) is the most auspicious window of the day.
