Chandra – מילון אנגלי-אנגלי
Chandra
In
Hinduism,
Chandra (,
IAST:
Candra,
lit. "shining") is a
lunar god and a
Graha. Chandra is also identified with the
Vedic lunar deity
Soma. The Soma name refers particularly to the juice of sap in the plants and thus makes the Moon the lord of plants and vegetation.
Chandra
[Hindu] Chandra was the original Indian god of the moon who was later merged with Soma. He was white in color, and drove the moon chariot across the sky with ten white horses. He was also a fertility god, for the dew which fell on the plants overnight and gave them life was seen as coming from the moon. Chandra was also prayed to when a couple wanted to have a child. He is sometimes called the father of Budha and Tara is named as one of his consorts.
