About Punarvasu Nakshatra
Punarvasu is the 7th of the 27 nakshatras in Vedic astrology. It is ruled by Jupiter (గురుడు) and falls under Mithuna / Karka (మిథున / కర్క రాశి). Babies born under Punarvasu nakshatra are traditionally named with syllables starting with Ke, Ko, Ha, Hi (కే, కో, హ, హి), corresponding to the four padas of this nakshatra.
The naming tradition (Namakaranam) is based on the Moon's precise position at the time of birth. Each pada spans 3°20' of the zodiac and prescribes a unique starting syllable. This ensures the baby's name resonates with their birth star's energy and the planetary influence of Jupiter.
