Nakshatras are very important in Hinduism. In Hinduism, all auspicious work is done only after knowing the position of the constellation (Nakshatras). A group of stars in the sky is called a constellation. Based on the constellations in Hindu astrology. There are 27 Nakshatras in Hinduism. In classical Hindu scriptures, the credit for the creation of the constellations goes to Daksha, the son of Brahma. All these constellations were the daughters of Daksha. All the constellations are known as the wives of the moon. Moon had married Daksha's daughters on the request of King Daksha.
The birth constellation of any person is an important element of Indian Vedic astrology. There are 28 Nakshatras but only 27 Nakshatras are considered for calculation. A constellation whose name is omitted from Abhijeet. The calculations of constellations are related to the path of the moon.
The Moon revolves around the Earth in 27-28 days. The moon passes through these stars. By tying different groups of stars falling in this path, each constellation has been named Nakshatra. In this way the whole path is divided into these 27 constellations and is called 'Nakshatra Chakra'.
