Today is Amavasya (Krishna Paksha) in the month of Chaitra — Mangalavara, governed by Uttara Bhadrapada. Amavasya is generally considered inauspicious for major new ventures. Rahu Kaal: 3:54 PM to 5:28 PM — avoid starting new activities during this period. Abhijit Muhurta (12:21 PM–1:11 PM) is the most auspicious window of the day. Today is અમાસ — an important fasting day in the Gujarati tradition. Special: સર્વાર્થ સિદ્ધિ યોગ is active today — highly auspicious for important activities.
