<p>Vedic Culture with some commonly known constellations related to Nakshatra.</p>

<h3>Rashi</h3>
<p>The sidereal zodiac is an imaginary belt of 360 degrees (like the tropical zodiac), divided into 12 equal parts. Each twelfth part (of 30 degrees) is called a sign or rashi. Their names are shown in (brackets).</p>

<h3>Nakshatra</h3>
<p>These are marked positions of the Moon during the Lunar month and traditional bhartiya astronomy, based on a list of 28 (sometimes 27) asterisms found in the Atharvaveda and also in the Shatapatha Brahmana. So 'Abhijit' Nakshatra is in {} and all other 27 names are shown in []. </p>
<p>In mythology the Nakshatras are considered to be the 27 daughters of Daksha Prajipati and wives of Chandra, the god of moon.</p>
<p>Nakshatras have no sky art.</p>
