Today is Amavasya (Krishna Paksha) in the month of આસો — Ravivara, governed by Purva Phalguni. Amavasya is generally considered inauspicious for major new ventures. Rahu Kaal: 5:15 PM to 6:46 PM — avoid starting new activities during this period. Abhijit Muhurta (12:17 PM–1:06 PM) is the most auspicious window of the day. Today is દિવાળી — an important fasting day in the Gujarati tradition.
