Origin of Constellation

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. The two stars are likely to be identified with γ Pegasi and α Andromedae.

The two Bhadrapada asterisms equal the Chinese Eastern Wall (壁宿) and Encampment (Ying Shi, Mansion) who also form lunar mansions.
