Today is Dwadashi (Shukla Paksha) in the month of Maha — Ravivara, governed by Ardra. Dwadashi is an auspicious Tithi — favorable for new beginnings, ceremonies, and important decisions. Rahu Kaal: 5:06 PM to 6:31 PM — avoid starting new activities during this period. Abhijit Muhurta (12:29 PM–1:14 PM) is the most auspicious window of the day. Today is બારસ — an important fasting day in the Gujarati tradition.
