Today is Dwadashi (Shukla Paksha) in the month of Maha — Shukravara, governed by Ardra. Dwadashi is an auspicious Tithi — favorable for new beginnings, ceremonies, and important decisions. Rahu Kaal: 11:26 AM to 12:50 PM — avoid starting new activities during this period. Abhijit Muhurta (12:27 PM–1:12 PM) is the most auspicious window of the day. Today is બારસ — an important fasting day in the Gujarati tradition.
