Meaning & mythology

Revati closes the zodiac. Ruled by Pushan, the shepherd who guides souls and travellers safely home, and symbolised by fish swimming in the cosmic ocean, it is the nakshatra of nourishment, protection and completion. Tradition associates Revati with kindness, a caring and nurturing nature, love of journeys, artistic sensitivity, and a gentle, all-embracing compassion.

Naming syllables (Namakaran)

If a child is born under Revati nakshatra, tradition suggests a name beginning with one of these syllables, chosen by the Moon's pada (quarter) at birth: De, Do, Cha, Chi — one syllable for each of the four padas.

These are the classical syllables; regional traditions vary slightly. For ritual decisions, confirm with your family panchanga or purohit.
