According to Hindu Dharma, there are 12 Zodiac Signs and 27 stars in our constellation. The elliptically structured zodiac can be divided into twelve houses with further subdivision of the same into twenty-seven nakshatras or star constellation.
The concept of Astrological Gardens has emerged out of this fact that among the tens of thousands of auspicious divine plant species available, each Birth Star and Zodiac Sign has a significant bond with a plant. According to technique mentioned in
“Mantra Maharnava” shastra, the birth stars are being classified into Sunrise and Sunset stars.
