Bharaniभरणी
Bharani is the second Nakshatra (13°20'–26°40' Mesha), symbolized by the yoni (womb) and ruled by Yama, the god of death and dharma. Its Yoni (compatibility animal) is Elephant, its Gana is Manushya, and its Nadi is Madhya (Pitta).
Bharani is not on this app's favorable list for any of the four Muhurat Search activities (vehicle purchase, property purchase, new job) — it is, however, explicitly on the unfavorable list for Griha Pravesh (housewarming), so the Muhurat Search will flag it as a negative factor for that specific activity.
Bharani's Visha Ghati begins at the 24th ghati (of 60) — roughly the second quarter of the Nakshatra's span.
Bharani is ruled by Yama, the god of death, judgment, and dharma — not a malefic figure in Vedic thought but the enforcer of cosmic order and consequence. Its symbol is the yoni (womb), representing the process of carrying something to completion. Its ruling planet (Nakshatra lord, used in Vimshottari Dasha sequencing) is Venus.
Classical texts associate Bharani with restraint, willpower, and the ability to see a difficult process through to its end — themes of carrying, bearing, and eventual transformation recur across sources. People with a strong Bharani influence are traditionally described as disciplined and capable of enduring hardship for a long-term outcome.
Per the traditional naming-syllable table this app uses for the Baby Names feature, a child born under Bharani's four Padas is traditionally named starting with "Li", "Lu", "Le", or "Lo" respectively.
