Today is Amavasya (Krishna Paksha) in the month of ભાદ્રપદ — Shanivara, governed by Magha. Amavasya is generally considered inauspicious for major new ventures. Rahu Kaal: 9:40 AM to 11:16 AM — avoid starting new activities during this period. Abhijit Muhurta (12:26 PM–1:16 PM) is the most auspicious window of the day. Today is અમાસ — an important fasting day in the Gujarati tradition.
