Purnima Tithi is one of the most sacred and significant lunar days in the Hindu calendar. The term Purnima is derived from the Sanskrit words "Purna", meaning full, and "Ma", meaning Moon. It refers to the day when the Moon is in its complete, fully illuminated state, symbolizing fullness, prosperity, and spiritual illumination. Purnima Tithi occurs on the 15th day of the Shukla Paksha (the waxing phase of the Moon) in every lunar month. On this day, the Moon rises in its full glory, opposite the Sun, and is completely visible in the night sky. The energy of the Moon is at its peak, and according to Vedic beliefs, the Moon significantly influences the mind, emotions, and spiritual consciousness of human beings. Therefore, Purnima is considered an ideal day for spiritual practices, meditation, and performing religious rituals.

About purnima dates Tabley
purnimasidates or Chogadia is used for checking auspicious time to start new work. Traditionally purnimasidates is used for travel muhurthas but due to its simplicity, it is used for any muhurtha.

About Vaar Vela, Kaal Vela, and Kaal Ratri
It is believed that no auspicious work should be done during Vaar Vela, Kaal Vela, and Kaal Ratri. Vaar Vela and Kaal Vela prevail during daytime while Kaal Ratri prevails during night time. It is believed that all Manglik works done during these timings are not fruitful.
Why purnimasidates Name?
In Hindu division of the day, the time between Sunrise to Sunset is divided into 30 Ghati. For purnimasidates Muhurta, the same time duration is divided into 8 parts, which results in 8 purnimasidates Muhurta during the daytime as well as during the night time. As each purnimasidates Muhurta approximates to 4 Ghati, it is known as purnimasidates i.e., purnimasidates = Cho (four) + Ghadiya (Ghati). purnimasidates Muhurta is also known as Chaturshtika Muhurta.
What if auspicious Choghadiya overlaps with Rahu Kala?
It is quite possible that auspicious Choghadiya might overlap with Rahu Kala. Rahu Kala is considered highly malefic. In South India, it is given utmost importance while selecting any Muhurta. Although many authoritative works on Muhurta don't have reference to Rahu Kala, it is always better to abandon that auspicious Choghadiya Muhurta which overlaps with Rahu Kala.
What if auspicious Choghadiya overlaps with Vara, Kala, and Ratri Vela?
It is quite possible that auspicious Choghadiya might overlap with Vara Vela, Kala Vela, and Kala Ratri. While selecting Choghadiya Muhurta, the adverse time of Vara Vela, Kala Vela, and Kala Ratri should be rejected.
It is believed that all Manglik works done during Vara Vela, Kala Vela, and Kala Ratri are not fruitful and don't give the desired results.
How to mark Choghadiya Good or Bad?
The first Muhurta on each weekday is ruled by the weekday lord. For example, on Sunday, the first Choghadiya Muhurta is ruled by the Sun, followed by Venus, Mercury, Moon, Saturn, Jupiter, and Mars respectively. The last Muhurta of the daytime is also ruled by the day lord.
Hence, the effect of each division, either bad or good, is marked based on the nature of the ruling planet. In Vedic Astrology, the time period under the influence of Venus, Mercury, Moon, and Jupiter is usually considered auspicious, while the time period under the influence of Sun, Mars, and Saturn is usually considered inauspicious. Based on the above information, we can mark each Choghadiya Muhurta as bad or good. It should be noted that bad Choghadiya can also be appropriate depending on the desired work which needs to be accomplished.
