Anuradhaअनुराधा
Anuradha is the seventeenth Nakshatra (3°20'–16°40' Vrishchika), symbolized by a lotus or triumphal archway and ruled by Mitra, the god of friendship and alliance. Its Yoni (compatibility animal) is Deer, its Gana is Deva, and its Nadi is Madhya (Pitta).
Anuradha appears on all four of this app's "good" Muhurat Search activity lists — vehicle purchase, property purchase, Griha Pravesh (housewarming), and new job — one of only three Nakshatras (with Mrigashira and Revati) that clear every activity this app currently scores.
Anuradha's Visha Ghati begins at the 10th ghati (of 60) — the earliest starting point of any Nakshatra in this app's table alongside Shravana and Dhanishtha.
Anuradha is ruled by Mitra, the god of friendship, contracts, and harmonious alliance. Its symbol is a lotus (or, in some traditions, a triumphal archway), representing success achieved through cooperation rather than conflict. Its ruling planet (Nakshatra lord, used in Vimshottari Dasha sequencing) is Saturn.
Classical texts associate Anuradha with friendliness, loyalty, and success through building strong relationships — people with a strong Anuradha influence are traditionally described as diplomatic, well-liked, and capable of achieving significant goals by working well with others rather than alone.
Per the traditional naming-syllable table this app uses for the Baby Names feature, a child born under Anuradha's four Padas is traditionally named starting with "Na", "Ni", "Nu", or "Ne" respectively.
