Magha is the tenth Nakshatra of the zodiac. It is one of the brightest and largest nakshatra that can be seen in the night sky. Since the Magha star is 100 times brighter than the Sun, this nakshatra is also called the Little Sun and the Little King. In the sky, the Magha Nakshatra is represented by a group of sickle-shaped stars facing the Leo constellation. It corresponds to the star Regulus or Alpha-Leonis and is ruled by the planet Ketu. The ancient Vedic sages saw Magha Tara as a throne while scholars from other cultures depicted it as a lion.
