Nakshatra 3

Krittika कृत्तिका

Krittika, ruled by the Sun and the fire deity Agni, burns away impurity. Natives are sharp, determined and protective.

Natives born under Krittika tend to be sharp, purifying, ambitious. The nakshatra belongs to the Rakshasa gana and Antya nadi, both of which matter in marriage compatibility.

Baby name syllables

By tradition, a baby born in Krittika is named with one of these starting sounds, one per pada:

A (Pada 1)Ee (Pada 2)U (Pada 3)Ea (Pada 4)
