What is Nakshatra?

Nakshatras are lunar mansions in Vedic Astrology that split the zodiac into 27 equal portions, each of which is around 13 degrees and 20 minutes long. 

The Nakshatras are also known as Lunar Asterisms. Each Grah Nakshatra represents a different deity, symbol, and characteristic. 

They are used to forecast an individual’s personality, behavior, and life events by determining the location of the Moon in their birth chart.

The Grah Nakshtra i.e those 27 Nakshatras are an important component of astrology, and each one is associated with different qualities and attributes.
