==Mythology==<br />
In [[Hindu]] mythology, Rohini is a daughter of King [[Daksha]] and Lady [[Panchajani]]. She was one of the twenty-seven daughters of [[Daksha]] who married [[Chandra]], the moon god. She was the favourite and chief consort of Chandra.<ref>{{cite book |last1=Sutton |first1=Komilla |title=Personal Panchanga |date=2007 |publisher=The Wessex Astrologer |isbn=978-1-902405-85-8 |url=https://books.google.com/books?id=nzMkDwAAQBAJ&q=rohini+goddess&pg=PT42 |language=en}}</ref> Chandra spent most of his time with Rohini. This enraged his other wives and they complaint this to their father. Seeing his daughters unhappy, Daksha cursed Chandra to lose his glory. Chandra's glory was partially restored by [[Shiva]].<br />
<br />
This is the fourth ''nakshatra'' of the zodiac, ruled by Moon. It spreads from 10° 0' in Vrishabha to 23° 20' in Vrishabha. Eyes of the people born in this ''nakshatra'' are especially attractive.<br />
<br />
Lord [[Krishna]]'s birth star is Rohini and there is a significance to his choosing to be born in this star.<br />
