In Vedic astrology and Indian astronomy, the twentieth lunar mansion (nakshatra), associated with support and foundation; also called Adra.
From Sanskrit 'adhāra,' meaning 'support' or 'that which supports.' The term reflects the ancient Hindu understanding of celestial divisions and their metaphorical associations with human experience.
Indian astrologers use adhara like ancient Babylonians used zodiacal constellations—both systems divide the sky to predict personality and life events, showing how different cultures independently invented celestial symbolism.
