Today is Chaturdashi (Krishna Paksha) in the month of Vaishakh — Budhavara, governed by Ashwini. Chaturdashi is a neutral Tithi — suitable for routine activities. Rahu Kaal: 12:42 PM to 2:20 PM — avoid starting new activities during this period. Abhijit Muhurta (12:16 PM–1:08 PM) is the most auspicious window of the day. Today is શિવ ચૌદસ — an important fasting day in the Gujarati tradition.
