Today is Dwadashi (Shukla Paksha) in the month of Vaishakh — Shanivara, governed by Hasta. Dwadashi is an auspicious Tithi — favorable for new beginnings, ceremonies, and important decisions. Rahu Kaal: 9:18 AM to 10:56 AM — avoid starting new activities during this period. Abhijit Muhurta (12:08 PM–1:00 PM) is the most auspicious window of the day. Today is બારસ — an important fasting day in the Gujarati tradition.
