#Uttaraphalguni #nakshatra is the 12th nakshatra out of the total 27 nakshatras. The deity God of this nakshatra is ‘ #Bhaga’, who is one of the 12 sons of Sun’s mother #Aditi.
Bhaga is the God of #happiness. This god is also referred as chayani #shakti, power is the giving of prosperity (through marriage or union). Its basis above is the wealth gained from one’s own family or from one’s partner. These together bring about the accumulation of #wealth.
In the #Rigveda, the personification of Lord Bhaga is attested primarily in RV 7.41, which is devoted to the praise of the Bhaga and of the deities closest to him, and in which the Bhaga is invoked about 60 times, together with #Agni, #Indra, the dual #Mitra- #Varuna, two #Ashvins, #Pusan, #Soma and #Rudra.
The 5th/6th-century BCE Nirukta (Nir. 12.13) describes Bhaga as the god of the morning. In the Rigveda, the Bhaga is named as one of the Adityas, the seven (or eight) celestial sons of Aditi, the Rigvedic mother of the gods. In the medieval Bhagavata Purana, the Bhaga reappears with the Puranic Adityas, which are by then twelve solar gods.
Bhaga God is referred Sauptika Parva of Mahabharata in which Rudra by anger plucks Bhaga’s eye when surplus shares of sacrifices were not shared correctly by Gods like Savitur, Pusha. Rudra cut of #Savitur hands and he took the teeth of the God Pushan
