Chandra
This article is about the Hindu moon deity. For other uses, see Chandra (disambiguation). In Hinduism, Chandra (lit. "shining) is a lunar deity and a Graha. Chandra is also identified with the Vedic Lunar deity Soma (lit. "juice"). The Soma name refers particularly to the juice of sap in the plants and thus makes the Moon the lord of plants and vegetation. He is described as young, beautiful, fair; two-armed and having in his hands a club and a lotus. He rides his chariot (the moon) across the sky every night, pulled by ten white horses or an antelope. He is connected with dew, and as such, is one of the gods of fertility. He is also called Rajanipati(lord of the night) and Kshuparaka (one who illuminates the night), Indu (lit. The bright drop). He as Soma, presides over Somvar or Monday.
