#Chitra #Nakshatra is the 14th Nakshatra as per Hindu #astrology.
Chitra is ruled by #Tvastar, the #Cosmic #craftsman. #Vishwakarma is the divine draftsman of the whole universe and the official builder of all the gods’ palaces. Below are some of his contributions as per Hindu mythological scriptures.
· #Indra’s Palace: After Indra became the king of the devas, he requested Vishwakarma to make palace for him. After Indra killed Vritra, Indra had Vishwakarma redo the palace and make it more grand multitudinous times.
· Palace for Kubera: This palace near Alakapuri is said to be most beautiful gardens in the universe. These were created by Vishwakarma.
· On an invitation of Lord Krishna, He also built the city “Indraprastha” for Pandavas.
· Lankapuri: This city, made entirely of gold, was originally created by Vishwakarma and as per mythology, demons like Sumali and his brothers seized the city from Vishwakarma and later, Ravana took over and started ruling. After Ravana’s death in the Ramayana, Vibhishana, his righteous brother, ruled for a very long time.
· Dwaraka: When Jarasandha kept attacking the Yadavas at Mathura, Krishna and the Yadavas moved to an island near Saurashtra. There, Krishna invoked Vishwakarma to build a beautiful city.
· Yamapuri: Vishwakarma also created Yamapuri for God Yama and his other advisors and ministers.
· Shraddhavati: This is the city of Varuna. It was built by Vishwakarma in the ocean.
In the Yajurveda, Purusha Sukta and the tenth mandala of the Rigveda, his character and attributes are merged with the concept of Hiranyagharbha/Prajapathy or Brahma. Tvastar is mentioned 65 times in the Ṛgveda and is the former of the bodies of men and animals,’ and invoked when desiring offspring, called garbha-pati or the lord of the womb.
As per the Ṛgveda, Tvastar, also known as Rathakāra, belongs to the clan of the Bhṛgus. Similarly, as mentioned in the epic Mahabharata, Tvastar or the Rathakāra is Śukrācārya’s son, Śukrācārya (the mentor of the asuras) is Bhṛgu’s grandson and Vāruṇibhṛgu’s son. He is the father of Saranyu, who twice bears twins to Vivasvat (RV 8.26.21), including Yama and Yami, also identified as the first humans. Tvastar is a solar deity in the Mahabharata and the Harivaṃśa. He is mentioned as the son of Kāśyapa and Aditi and is said to have made the three worlds with pieces of the Surya.
