Today is Amavasya (Krishna Paksha) in the month of આસો — Ravivara, governed by Purva Phalguni. Amavasya is generally considered inauspicious for major new ventures. Rahu Kaal: 5:04 PM to 6:35 PM — avoid starting new activities during this period. Abhijit Muhurta (12:06 PM–12:54 PM) is the most auspicious window of the day. Today is દિવાળી — an important fasting day in the Gujarati tradition.
