Rahu: Star-Swallowing Sun-Obscuring Headless Immortal Giant
The Asura demon Swarbhanu stole and drank the nectar of immortality, only to have his head severed by Vishnu's discus. His head transformed into Rahu, endlessly chasing and devouring the sun and moon.
Rigvedic Epic & Mythological Origins
In the myth of the Churning of the Ocean of Milk, the gods and Asuras vied for the elixir of immortality (Amrita). This demon disguised himself and sneaked into the divine ranks to drink it, but was exposed by the sun and moon gods. Vishnu severed his neck with the Sudarshana Chakra. Because he had already swallowed the nectar, his head became immortal, transforming into the malevolent star Rahu. Solar and lunar eclipses are the celestial phenomena of his devouring.
