Today is Dwitiya (Shukla Paksha) in the month of Ashadh — Guruvara, governed by Ashlesha. Dwitiya is an auspicious Tithi — favorable for new beginnings, ceremonies, and important decisions. Rahu Kaal: 2:24 PM to 4:04 PM — avoid starting new activities during this period. Abhijit Muhurta (12:17 PM–1:10 PM) is the most auspicious window of the day.
