Swathi is the 15th nakshatra mentioned in the astronomical texts of ancient India. The single star Arcturus (Alpha-Bootis) in the Botis constellation represents this nakshatra.
The symbol of nakshatra is a young plant ready to face the test of times. It can bend, be flexible, and restless to grow tall and look into the world quickly. The ruling deity Vayu offers creativity, artistic abilities, and freedom-loving nature on the natives.
Swati is also said to be the first pure-drop of rain that falls on the Earth and can turn into a beautiful pearl when it falls on an oyster.
