Today is Panchami (Shukla Paksha) in the month of Bhadrapad — Guruvara, governed by Chitra. Panchami is an auspicious Tithi — favorable for new beginnings, ceremonies, and important decisions. Rahu Kaal: 2:21 PM to 3:56 PM — avoid starting new activities during this period. Abhijit Muhurta (12:21 PM–1:12 PM) is the most auspicious window of the day.
