Today is Dwadashi (Shukla Paksha) in the month of કારતક — Guruvara, governed by Uttara Bhadrapada. Dwadashi is an auspicious Tithi — favorable for new beginnings, ceremonies, and important decisions. Rahu Kaal: 1:46 PM to 3:10 PM — avoid starting new activities during this period. Abhijit Muhurta (12:00 PM–12:45 PM) is the most auspicious window of the day. Today is બારસ — an important fasting day in the Gujarati tradition.
