Today is Dashami (Shukla Paksha) in the month of Maha — Budhavara, governed by Krittika. Dashami is an auspicious Tithi — favorable for new beginnings, ceremonies, and important decisions. Rahu Kaal: 1:00 PM to 2:24 PM — avoid starting new activities during this period. Abhijit Muhurta (12:38 PM–1:22 PM) is the most auspicious window of the day.
