Arundhati is one of the most revered Hindu baby girl names, connected to the star Alcor — known in Hindu astronomy as the Arundhati star — and to the legendary wife of the great sage Vasishtha. In Hindu tradition, Arundhati is celebrated as the ideal of devoted and virtuous womanhood. At every Hindu wedding ceremony, the groom traditionally shows the bride the Arundhati star — a small, faint star near the Great Bear constellation — as a symbol of the ideal of conjugal devotion and faithfulness that she embodies. The name means the morning star, one who is devoted, and one who holds back nothing in love. A girl named Arundhati is connected to this beautiful tradition of steadfast devotion, inner virtue, and the quiet, enduring strength of a woman who is the true centre of her home and her family.
