Chakora

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Chakora, a kind of partridge, is a legendary bird described in Hindu mythology. She is believed to reside upon the beams of the moon, that is, the Chandra. The association of Chakora and Chandra have given rise to a number of folk love stories in north India revolving round them.
