Ashlesha is one of the 27 stars in the Hindu Astrology star cluster. ‘Ashlesha’ means one that is inseparable. As per Valmiki Ramayana, Lakshmana and Shatrughna were born under this star. People born under Ashlesha Star will become very bright, and tend to show interest in Ars and Communications. They will also possess leadership qualities. Ancient Vedic Jyothisha Shastra says that visiting the temples of Lord Subrahmanya or Lord Nrusimhat does good for those with Ashlesha as Birth Star. Who shall perform Ashlesha Bali Pooja? Those born under Ashlesha Star can do this Pooja.
