Today is Dwadashi (Shukla Paksha) in the month of Margashirsh — Shukravara, governed by Ashwini. Dwadashi is an auspicious Tithi — favorable for new beginnings, ceremonies, and important decisions. Rahu Kaal: 11:17 AM to 12:38 PM — avoid starting new activities during this period. Abhijit Muhurta (12:16 PM–12:59 PM) is the most auspicious window of the day. Today is બારસ — an important fasting day in the Gujarati tradition.
