Today is Tritiya (Krishna Paksha) in the month of Kartik — Somavara, governed by Krittika. Tritiya is an auspicious Tithi — favorable for new beginnings, ceremonies, and important decisions. Rahu Kaal: 8:09 AM to 9:35 AM — avoid starting new activities during this period. Abhijit Muhurta (12:05 PM–12:52 PM) is the most auspicious window of the day.
