In
Hinduism,
Chandra is a
lunar deity, later identified with
Soma. He was
white and rode his
chariot (the
moon) across the sky every night, pulled by ten white
horses. He is said to be connected with
dew, and as such, is a god of fertility. He is the father of
Budha with either
Tara or
Rohini, and is also married to
Anuradha and
Bharani, both daughters of Chandra.
