Citra

Citra, meaning 'Bright,' corresponds to Spica (alpha Virginis) and is presided over by Tvashtar, the celestial artificer, ruled by Mars. The lamp or pearl symbol reflects the brilliant light of Spica, one of the brightest stars in the sky, while Tvashtar's craftsmanship connects this nakshatra to artistry, design, and the creation of beautiful objects.
