Today's Panchang Summary
General information only — not personal advice.

It's Pratipada of Krishna Paksha, in the month of Posh. Today falls on a Shanivara, traditionally ruled by Saturn, with the Moon resting in Ardra nakshatra. Pratipada is considered an auspicious tithi, so it's a good day for new beginnings, ceremonies, or important decisions. Between 10:07 AM and 11:14 AM, Rahu Kaal will be in effect; elders advise against starting anything new during this window. The most auspicious moment of the day is Abhijit Muhurta, from 12:04 PM to 12:40 PM — a good slot for anything important.
