Today is Panchami (Shukla Paksha) in the month of Chaitra — Shukravara, governed by Rohini. Panchami is an auspicious Tithi — favorable for new beginnings, ceremonies, and important decisions. Rahu Kaal: 11:17 AM to 12:49 PM — avoid starting new activities during this period. Abhijit Muhurta (12:25 PM–1:14 PM) is the most auspicious window of the day.
