Kaulava Karana
Kaulava is the third of the 11 Karanas in Vedic astrology and belongs to the category of Movable (Chara) Karanas. It is characterized by its gentle, nurturing, and social energy, making it an ideal period for fostering relationships and performing domestic duties.
Symbolism and Nature
The symbol of Kaulava Karana is the Pig (often associated with the Wild Boar). While this might seem unconventional, in ancient symbolism, it represents prosperity, fertility, and the grounding energy of the earth. Kaulava embodies a friendly and cooperative nature. It is a time when people are more inclined toward consensus and harmony rather than conflict or competition.
Ruling Deity: Chandra (The Moon God)

This lunar connection grants Kaulava Karana a soft, sensitive, and adaptable quality. It is a highly favorable time for activities related to emotional well-being, creative expression, and strengthening the bonds of friendship.
