Vishakhaविशाखा
Vishakha is the sixteenth Nakshatra (20° Tula–3°20' Vrishchika), symbolized by a decorated archway or triumphal gate and ruled jointly by Indra and Agni. Its Yoni (compatibility animal) is Tiger, its Gana is Rakshasa, and its Nadi is Antya (Kapha).
Vishakha is on this app's "good" Muhurat Search list only for property purchase — it is not on the favorable or unfavorable list for vehicle purchase, Griha Pravesh, or new job.
Vishakha's Visha Ghati begins at the 14th ghati (of 60) — relatively early in the Nakshatra's span.
Vishakha is ruled jointly by Indra, king of the gods, and Agni, the fire god — an unusual dual rulership among the 27 Nakshatras. Its symbol is a decorated archway or triumphal gate, representing achievement and a clear path toward a goal. Its ruling planet (Nakshatra lord, used in Vimshottari Dasha sequencing) is Jupiter.
Classical texts associate Vishakha with determination, ambition, and a single-minded focus on achieving goals — people with a strong Vishakha influence are traditionally described as competitive, driven, and willing to pursue an objective with sustained effort until it is reached.
Per the traditional naming-syllable table this app uses for the Baby Names feature, a child born under Vishakha's four Padas is traditionally named starting with "Ti", "Tu", "Te", or "To" respectively.
