Initial creation of the page
{{short description|Wikipedia list article}}In [[Hindu astrology]], there are 27 '''''[[nakshatra]]s''''' ("lunar mansions", Sanskrit: नक्षत्र, IAST: ''Nakṣatra''), or sectors along the [[ecliptic]]. A list of them is first found in the ''[[Vedanga Jyotisha]]'', a text dated to the final centuries BCE{{fact|date=January 2020}}. The ''Nakṣatra'' system predates the influence of [[Hellenistic astronomy]] on Vedic tradition, which became prevalent from about the 2nd century CE. There are various systems of enumerating the ''Nakṣatra''-s;{{Clarify|date=October 2011}} although there are 27-28 days to a sidereal month, by custom only 27 days are used. The following list gives the corresponding regions of sky.<ref>{{cite book|first=Arthur Llewellyn|last=Basham|authorlink=Arthur Llewellyn Basham|title=The Wonder That Was India|chapter=Appendix II: Astronomy|p=490|year=1954|publisher=[[Sidgwick and Jackson]]|title-link=The Wonder That Was India}}</ref>
