The basis of a Hindu census is based on the motion of the constellation the Sun and the Moon.

In this, the constellation has an all-important position. A group of stars is called a

constellation or Nakshatra in Hindi.

There are eighty-eight known constellations including mythological beings plants people and objects and they

take many forms. The name is generally given on the basis of the shape formed within the constellation by

the brightest stars. Some of these shapes are much more noticeable than others.

lunar month from the famous astrologer in delhi

Sun s zodiac change is called Sankranti. The new year of solar month begins with Makar Sankranti. We name this time period that is needed to complete one revolution around the sun by the earth a solar year. A month of solar means one-twelfth of a year of solar. This solar month is usually 30 days. The solar year is basically three hundred sixty-five days.

The constellations are like the milestones of our sky system which shows the extent of the sky. Although there are eighty-eight constellations, only twenty-seven are considered on Chandra Path.
