Today is Panchami (Krishna Paksha) in the month of Margashirsh — Budhavara, governed by Pushya. Panchami is an auspicious Tithi — favorable for new beginnings, ceremonies, and important decisions. Rahu Kaal: 12:36 PM to 1:57 PM — avoid starting new activities during this period. Abhijit Muhurta (12:15 PM–12:58 PM) is the most auspicious window of the day.
