Rohini is a nakshatra in Indian astronomy corresponding to Aldebaran.
In Hindu mythology, Rohini is a daughter of Prajapati Daksha and his consort, Prasuti. She was one of the twenty-seven daughters of Daksha who married the moon-God Chandra. She was the favourite and chief consort of Chandra, and the mother of Budha (not to be confused with Buddha). Chandra is often identified with Soma.
