Overview of Shravana Nakshatra
Shravana is one of the 27 Nakshatras (lunar mansions) in Vedic astrology. It spans 10°-23°20' Capricorn and is governed by Moon. The presiding deity is Vishnu, and its nature is classified as Deva gana. The symbol of Shravana is the three footprints/ear, which reflects the core energy and qualities that this nakshatra bestows upon those born under its influence.
