On Thursday, 6 November 2025, it is Pratipada of Krishna Paksha, in the month of Kartik. The day falls on a Guruvara, traditionally ruled by Jupiter, with the Moon resting in Krittika nakshatra. Pratipada is considered an auspicious tithi, so it is a favorable day for new beginnings, ceremonies, or important decisions. Between 1:22 PM and 2:35 PM, Rahu Kaal is in effect; elders advise against starting anything new during this window. The most auspicious moment of the day is Abhijit Muhurta, from 11:50 AM to 12:29 PM — a good slot for anything important.
