The full moon day is usually a significant time for rituals to deities as it symbolises removal of darkness and emergence of splendour or radiance. It also beckons fullness, abundance and prosperity. When pujas/homas are done on such an auspicious day, it confers great merits to the performer. Scientifically, the gravitational forces of earth are at their maximum level and thereby give stability, enhanced energy and reduction in gastric problems like acidity and great amount of balance between body and mind. Even deities, the females especially, exhibit accelerated powers on the day of full moon and their energies are high on the day.
