Magha Nakshatra
In Indian astronomy and Hindu astrology, Nakshatra is used as a term for the lunar mansion. There are 27 or 28 sectors along the ecliptic. The movement of the lunar constellations and that of the moon is depicted through Nakshatra. According to Indian astronomy, it takes about 2.3 days for the moon for moving into the next zodiac sign. Therefore, for completing one full cycle, the moon takes 27-28 days. In classical Hindu scriptures like Harivamsa and Mahabharata, the Nakshatra creation is attributed to Daksha.
