It's Pratipada of Krishna Paksha, in the month of Ashadh. Today falls on a Mangalavara, traditionally ruled by Mars, with the Moon resting in Purva Ashadha nakshatra. Pratipada is considered an auspicious tithi, so it's a good day for new beginnings, ceremonies, or important decisions. Between 4:02 PM and 5:43 PM, Rahu Kaal will be in effect; elders advise against starting anything new during this window. The most auspicious moment of the day is Abhijit Muhurta, from 12:15 PM to 1:09 PM — a good slot for anything important.
