Synopsis: Long ago, before clocks ticked and calendars flipped, everyone looked to the stars to tell the time and find their way. High above, scattered like jewels across the beautiful sky, lie the nakshatras - twenty-seven groups of stars forming unique patterns.To ancient Indians, these star-patterns weren't just glimmering dots in the dark. They were daughters of gods, companions of the Moon and guardians of cosmic secrets.Each nakshatra is believed to be guided by a powerful force - a divine deity. Some ride roaring beasts, others control the elements. Some earned the grace of gods, others invoked awe and fear. In Starstruck, you will meet popular deities like Indra, Agni and Shiva, and quieter, intriguing ones like Bhaga, Mitra and the Nagas. You will discover their special symbols and superpowers in some of the most amazing myths ever told. Get ready for blessings and curses, battles and quests, secrets and surprises - all waiting in the great sky for thousands of years to be discovered by you!
