Which letters are for Mithuna rashi?

Mithuna rashi covers nine Padas across Mrigashira, Ardra, Punarvasu. Under the commonly used convention, the starting letters are Ka, Ki, Ku, Gha, Nga, Chha, Ke, Ko, Ha.

Is Mithuna the same as Gemini?

How do I know my baby's rashi?

The rashi is the sign the Moon was in at the moment of birth. The easiest way is to find the Nakshatra and Pada from the birth time, because each Pada belongs to one rashi. Our Nakshatra finder shows the rashi along with the Nakshatra and Pada.

Must the name start with a Mithuna letter?

Practices vary between families and communities. Many families use the letter of the Nakshatra Pada, which falls in a particular rashi. Others choose an everyday name freely. Your family elders or priest can advise on your tradition.
