Now you can proudly identify the Arundhathi (which is none other than plant Venus, the Morning star) and the Saptharishi Mandalam (which is also a prominent constellation "Usra major").
And the husband of the Arundhathi is Vasista who is one of the stars in "Saptarishi madalam" (that is Mizar)
In the May night sky we can Identify all these clearly.
Arundhathi:
Venus will be there in the exactly West from evening 6.00 to 8.00 p.m
Venus is the brightest object in the night sky during that time.
Usra Major:
And coming to Usra major " its called Big dipper constellation.
which can be easily identified in North side of the sky.
