Frequently asked questions
Chandra Darshan venerates Soma, the Moon God, whose myths in the Puranas portray the Moon as a gentle illuminator of the night and a symbol of mind and emotions. Tradition recalls that Soma married the twenty-seven daughters of Daksha, the nakshatras, and that his monthly waxing and waning is celebrated through moonlit darshan as a reminder of time's cyclical rhythm.
