Uttara Bhadrapada is the 26th of the 27 nakshatras in Vedic astrology. It is ruled by Saturn (శనిగ్రహం) and falls under Meena (Pisces) (మీన రాశి). Babies born under Uttara Bhadrapada nakshatra are traditionally named with syllables starting with Du, Tha, Jha, Gna (ది, థ, ఝ, జ్ఞ), corresponding to the four padas of this nakshatra.
