Today is Amavasya (Krishna Paksha) in the month of Maha — Ravivara, governed by Purva Ashadha. Amavasya is generally considered inauspicious for major new ventures. Rahu Kaal: 5:00 PM to 6:22 PM — avoid starting new activities during this period. Abhijit Muhurta (12:32 PM–1:16 PM) is the most auspicious window of the day. Today is અમાસ — an important fasting day in the Gujarati tradition.
