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 Pusha nakhatras Data Name?

In Hindu division of the day, the time between Sunrise to Sunset is divided into 30 Ghati. For Pusha nakhatras Data Muhurta, the same time duration is divided into 8 parts, which results in 8 Pusha nakhatras Data Muhurta during the daytime as well as during the night time. As each Pusha nakhatras Data Muhurta approximates to 4 Ghati, it is known as Pusha nakhatras Data i.e., Pusha nakhatras Data = Cho (four) + Ghadiya (Ghati). Pusha nakhatras Data 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.
