Today is Dwadashi (Krishna Paksha) in the month of ચૈત્ર — Mangalavara, governed by Shatabhisha. Dwadashi is an auspicious Tithi — favorable for new beginnings, ceremonies, and important decisions. Rahu Kaal: 3:48 PM to 5:23 PM — avoid starting new activities during this period. Abhijit Muhurta (12:13 PM–1:03 PM) is the most auspicious window of the day. Today is બારસ — an important fasting day in the Gujarati tradition.
