Rohini Nakshatra

Nakshatra:

In Vedic Astrology, known as ‘Jyotish’ in Sanskrit, the 27 constellations (Nakshatras) determines the core of celestial influences on our planet.

The 27 Nakshatras, in a way, represents our ideal path in the passage of life right from the moment of birth and goes till death.

This unique star is visible even in the evening sky and Vedic Legends have revered this star as this was believed to be an abode of Brahma and Prajapatis.
