Today is Navami (Krishna Paksha) in the month of Ashadh — Budhavara, governed by Ashwini. Navami is an auspicious Tithi — favorable for new beginnings, ceremonies, and important decisions. Rahu Kaal: 1:17 PM to 3:18 PM — avoid starting new activities during this period. Abhijit Muhurta (12:45 PM–1:49 PM) is the most auspicious window of the day.
