Today is Chaturthi (Krishna Paksha) in the month of Ashwin — Budhavara, governed by Bharani. Chaturthi is a neutral Tithi — suitable for routine activities. Rahu Kaal: 12:30 PM to 1:59 PM — avoid starting new activities during this period. Abhijit Muhurta (12:06 PM–12:54 PM) is the most auspicious window of the day. Today is સંકષ્ટ ચોથ — an important fasting day in the Gujarati tradition.
