Today is Chaturdashi (Krishna Paksha) in the month of Ashadh — Somavara, governed by Ardra. Chaturdashi is a neutral Tithi — suitable for routine activities. Rahu Kaal: 7:42 AM to 9:36 AM — avoid starting new activities during this period. Abhijit Muhurta (12:53 PM–1:53 PM) is the most auspicious window of the day. Today is શિવ ચૌદસ — an important fasting day in the Gujarati tradition.
