Beautiful name.
A great name with an amazing meaning.
Chandra... silky splashes of moonbeams upon the hazy, watercolor pages of an old fairy tale. Chandra is, in my opinion, a godly title wrapped in the cloak of mystery that forever bathes the night sky. As its tantalizing, snowy letters escape the lips, it conjures swirly visions of starlit gardens where moonstruck flowers bloom under the watchful gaze of a lunar sovereign. Like a luminous sylph, Chandra is a worthy denizen of the kingdom of dreams, encouraging dreamers to let their imagination take flight and create from the depths of their soul, passion and helplessness eternally guiding. An ascending nocturne, the overture of the night sky over India... Chandra knows the moon and the stars and everything humans see beauty in.
