Shravana

Shravana (Devanagari: श्रवणा) is the 22th nakshatra (Devanagari: नक्षत्र) or "lunar mansion" as used in Hindu astronomy and astrology. It belongs to the constellation "Makara" (Devanagari: मकर) or Capricorn.

The word "Shravana" means hearing/listening in Sanskrit and this is considered to be the star of "learning".
