Chitra is the 14th nakshatra, spanning 23°20' Virgo – 6°40' Libra. Its symbol is the bright jewel, its presiding deity Tvashtar, and its Vimshottari lord Mars. The celestial architect: design, brilliance, and striking presence.

People born with the Moon in Chitra begin life in a Mars mahadasha, which colours the opening chapter of their story. The gana is Rakshasa, which matters in traditional match-making.
