Shravana

Shravana is the 22nd nakshatra

(Devanagari नक्षत्र) or lunar mansion
as used in Hindu astronomy, Hindu
calendar and Hindu astrology. It
belongs to the constellation
Makara (Devanagari: मकर), a
legendary sea creature resembling
a crocodile] or Capricorn. The
name alludes to Shravan, a
:
 mythological character who
attained repute due to his utmost
devotion to his aged and blind
parents.

Lord Venkateswara of Tirupati and

Lord Oppiliappan near
Kumbakonam, who married
Markandeya Rishi's daughter
Bhuvalli, were born in this
Nakshatra in the Bhadrapada
maasa.

Traditional Hindu given names are

determined by which pada
:
 (quarter) of a nakshatra the
Ascendant/Lagna was in at the
time of birth. In the case of
Shravana Nakshatra, the given
name would begin with the
following syllables:[1]

Khi (Devanagari: खी)

Khu (Devanagari: खू)
Khe (Devanagari: खे)
Kho (Devanagari: खो)
