Today is Panchami (Krishna Paksha) in the month of Chaitra — Shanivara, governed by Anuradha. Panchami is an auspicious Tithi — favorable for new beginnings, ceremonies, and important decisions. Rahu Kaal: 9:50 AM to 11:22 AM — avoid starting new activities during this period. Abhijit Muhurta (12:30 PM–1:19 PM) is the most auspicious window of the day.
