Today is Panchami (Krishna Paksha) in the month of Bhadrapad — Shukravara, governed by Bharani. Panchami is an auspicious Tithi — favorable for new beginnings, ceremonies, and important decisions. Rahu Kaal: 11:07 AM to 12:40 PM — avoid starting new activities during this period. Abhijit Muhurta (12:15 PM–1:04 PM) is the most auspicious window of the day.
