In Hindu mythology, a daughter of the deity Daksha who is wedded to the Moon alongside her twenty-six sisters.
Despite Daksha's pleas to give them all equal time, the Moon
prefers Rohini above her sisters.
Finally, Daksha curses the Moon, causing him to lose his
brilliance.
The curse is subsequently changed so that the moon would wax
and wane, but its departure will never be complete.
