Stories of the Sky
The figures behind the light.
The deities behind the planets and nakshatras, as the classical texts describe them.
The classical texts give each planet and each nakshatra a presiding figure, with its colours, its hands and what it carries. These paintings follow those descriptions first, and imagination only after. They are here to explain the tradition a reading draws on.

The deity of each nakshatra.
Tap a painting for the story of its deity, and the small symbol for the story of the nakshatra.
