Rohini is considered to be the moon god Chandra's favorite wife. She is one of the 27 daughters of Daksha and Asikni.
Here's a breakdown:
- Chandra: The Hindu moon god, also known as Soma.
- Rohini: Chandra's most beloved consort.
- Daksha: A Prajapati, or progenitor of mankind, and father of Rohini and her 26 sisters.
The story goes that Chandra married all 27 of Daksha's daughters, who each represent a Nakshatra (lunar mansion). However, Chandra favored Rohini, spending most of his time with her, which angered the other wives. They complained to their father, Daksha, who then cursed Chandra to wane.
