Today is Panchami (Krishna Paksha) in the month of Ashadh — Shanivara, governed by Shatabhisha. Panchami is an auspicious Tithi — favorable for new beginnings, ceremonies, and important decisions. Rahu Kaal: 9:32 AM to 11:27 AM — avoid starting new activities during this period. Abhijit Muhurta (12:51 PM–1:53 PM) is the most auspicious window of the day.
