Founders of DNA Vastu
All 27 lunar mansions in order, with the span of the zodiac each one covers, its ruling graha, deity, symbol, gana and nature.
Nakshatras
Each nakshatra covers 13°20′ of the sidereal zodiac, and each has four padas (quarters) of 3°20′. The one the Moon was in when you were born is your janma nakshatra: it sets your first dasha and is used in kundli matching. Find your nakshatra.
