Chandra (moon deity)

Chandra is the ancient Hindu deity representing the Moon, associated with calmness, femininity, and nourishment. In Hindu mythology, Chandra is considered a celestial ruler who governs the night sky, influencing tides, seasons, and human emotions. Depicted as a luminous, gentle figure often riding a chariot drawn by three white, swift horses or accompanied by symbols like a crescent moon, Chandra plays a vital role in astrology and spiritual practices. The deity embodies serenity and intuition, symbolizing the reflective and cooling qualities of the Moon within the natural and cosmic order.
