Swati is a lunar month in the Hindu calendar, typically falling between late September and October. It is associated with the Swati Nakshatra, one of the 27 lunar mansions in Vedic astrology. This period is considered auspicious for various religious and cultural activities, including festivals and rituals. In astrology, individuals born under the Swati Nakshatra are believed to possess qualities such as adaptability and independence. The symbol of Swati is a young plant or a blade of grass, representing growth and flexibility. This Nakshatra is ruled by the planet Rahu, which influences its characteristics and traits.
