Yes, thanks to the Sadhya Yoga and the Moon being in the peaceful sign of Pisces, it is a great day. The best time to initiate important work is during the Abhijit Muhurat (12:12 PM - 12:57 PM). Avoid the Rahu Kaal.

The Vrat is determined based on the Trayodashi Tithi (13th lunar day). The day when the Trayodashi Tithi overlaps with the evening twilight (Pradosh Kaal) is selected as the fasting day. The Tithi runs from 09:41 AM on March 16 to 09:24 AM on March 17.

The swan (Hansa) represents purity and the power of discernment (the ability to separate right from wrong, just as a swan is mythologically believed to separate milk from water). It symbolizes the attainment of ultimate truth and the "Brahma Pad" (supreme state).

Being a Tuesday (मंगलवार), the inauspicious window of Rahukaal is from 03:54 PM to 05:38 PM (avoid initial steps of new tasks during this time). The highly auspicious Abhijit Muhurat is active from 11:58 AM to 12:53 PM.
