Today is Tritiya (Krishna Paksha) in the month of Kartik — Mangalavara, governed by Mrigashirsha. Tritiya is an auspicious Tithi — favorable for new beginnings, ceremonies, and important decisions. Rahu Kaal: 3:12 PM to 4:35 PM — avoid starting new activities during this period. Abhijit Muhurta (12:06 PM–12:50 PM) is the most auspicious window of the day.
