Everything about the 27 Nakshatras in one place — their names, the seven groups (Gana) used in Muhurat, the naming syllable (Swar) of every pada, and the daily Nakshatra Thyajyam.

A Nakshatra is one of the 27 equal parts of the zodiac, each 13° 20′ wide. The Nakshatra in which the Moon is placed decides the birth star, the syllable a name should begin with and, for a Muhurat, which works suit a given day.

The reference tables below are open to everyone. The calculators work from your saved Janma profiles, so the birth details are entered only once.
