	Uttara Bhadrapada literally means "the second of the blessed feet". Together with Purva Bhadrapada, the first of the blessed feet, it forms a super-constellation. Yet, in temples the two asterisms with similar names are depicted in totally different ways. This one is drawn as a anthropomorphic figure with two faces who holds the two stars in their hands.
